PRELIMINARY POSITIONS FOR WRC-19
The African Telecommunications Union (ATU) convened the 1st African Preparatory meeting for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (APM19-1) in Nairobi - KENYA from 19 to 22 September 2016.
The meeting considered the WRC-19 agenda items based on the compilations of input contributions from sub-regions, administrations, associate members and relevant interested organizations. The result of this consideration is summarized below:
Chapter 1 -Land mobile and fixed services: 1.11; 1.12; 1.14; 1.15
1.11Railway Radiocommunication Systems (RSS)
APM19-1 considered that there is need to segment the proposed candidate bands according to envisaged usages.
1.12Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
No preliminary position on this agenda item yet.
1.14High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS)
APM19-1 considered that there is need to consider the utilization of frequency bands already identified for HAPS in Article 5 of RR. Also studies should consider protection of incumbent services and systems of fixed and mobile services, this protection has been implemented in previous bands identified for HAPS.
