The UMTS Forum involvement at the WRC 2003
June 10, 2003
UMTS Forum spectrum experts will be actively involved at the World Radiocommunication
Conference (WRC-03), which starts today. The conference which runs until
the 4 July 2003 in Geneva, Switzerland, is a key event on the telecoms
calendar - exploring, among other topics, the issue of the timely availability
of spectrum for future UMTS/IMT-2000 requirements.
The UMTS Forum has participated in studies regarding the initial and
future spectrum requirements for IMT-2000. Following the identification
of the bands 1885-2025/2110-2200 MHz for IMT-2000 created by WARC-92,
(on which the first UMTS/IMT-2000 deployments are taking place), the continuation
of development for UMTS/IMT2000 networks was further assured by the additional
spectrum identified by WRC-2000. In particular, the identification of
the band 2500 - 2960 MHz provides the UMTS/IMT-2000 community with certainty
about access to additional spectrum within the timescales required by
anticipated market needs.
The UMTS Forum believe that for terrestrial IMT-2000 it is vital that
the band 2500-2690 MHz, which was identified by WRC-2000 for IMT-2000
on a global basis, needs to be unconstrained by interference from Broadcasting
Satellite systems (BSS) in the relevant parts of the band. Furthermore,
it is crucial that there exists an effective regulatory and technical
regime to underpin the long term global planning of terrestrial IMT-2000
in the 2.5 GHz band.
It is the UMTS Forum's belief that for IMT-2000 to develop to its full
potential it is essential for WRC-03 to propose an appropriate agenda
item for WRC-07 to review and take any necessary action on results of
further studies on the spectrum requirements for the future development
of IMT-2000.
Jean-Pierre Bienaimé, chairman, UMTS Forum comments: "Mobile communications
have now become an essential part of daily life and the improvement of
mobile networks and services is essential for economic growth. The decisions
of the World Radiocommunication Conference on agenda items 1.22 and 1.34
will contribute to this process. The UMTS Forum will continue to bring
its support and contributions to ITU".
UMTS Forum experts in the spectrum field will be involved in the work
of WRC-03, including Jean-Pierre Bienaimé, chairman, Thomas Sidenbladh,
vice chairman and Josef F. Huber, vice chairman.
