tailieunhanh - Redeployment Plan for Spectrum Efficient Land Mobile Equipment in the Frequency Range 100-500 MHz

In addition to these incentives, the Department is currently developing a new radio licence fee model, based on spectrum consumption and relative spectrum scarcity. Under the proposed new model, licensees who adopt spectrum efficient technologies would benefit from lower licence fees. The new fee model would therefore encourage voluntary early migration to more spectrum efficient technologies. The provisions of the present plan will be applicable within congested areas (. areas of intensive mobile use, where applicants are denied access to spectrum). These provisions may also be applied to assignments in areas surrounding the congested areas if they are expected to impact on the availability of. | RDP 100-500 MHz October 1998 Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Policy Redeployment Plan for Spectrum Efficient Land Mobile Equipment in the Frequency Range 100-500 MHz Canada Aussi disponible en tranẹais - PRA 100-500 MHz DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT NOTICE NO. SMSE-009-98 REDEPLOYMENT PLAN FOR SPECTRUM EFFICIENT LAND MOBILE EQUIPMENT IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 100-500 MHz RDP 100-500 MHz Background In view of the limited availability of radio frequency spectrum in the land mobile bands between 100 and 500 MHz in large urban areas of the country the Department of Industry initiated in April 1995 a process leading to a change in the spectrum management framework. This change referred to as redeployment or sometimes as refarming will facilitate the introduction of more spectrum efficient equipment and systems leading to increased overall traffic capacity of the bands as part of long term solutions in meeting mobile spectrum needs. The changes to the spectrum management framework that are presented in the redeployment plan follow the guiding principles established in the Spectrum Policy 30-896 MHz Part II issued in April 95 and the consultation with the Radio Advisory Board of Canada. The Department will use several spectrum management tools including policy equipment certification and authorization provisions to achieve the redeployment objectives. Also the plan provides incentives for voluntary early deployment of more spectrum efficient technologies . based on demonstrated need applicants will be able to use a portion of the spectrum that is freed-up through early deployment. The Department also foresees that when the new licence fee model is implemented using more spectrum efficient equipment may result in some reduction in licence fees. In addition the plan is scheduled according to a time frame in two phases to allow graceful migration to more spectrum efficient technologies. The provisions of the redeployment plan will be applicable .
