The National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP) 2025 review is advancing with the second meeting of the NFAP Review/Revision Committee. The session focused on reviewing proposals from Working Groups (WGs) for additions and modifications to IND footnotes. Here’s a detailed overview of the discussions and decisions:
Use of HIBS for IMT Base Stations Below 2.7GHz: Proposals were considered for the use of High Interference Base Stations (HIBS) to enhance the performance and coverage of IMT base stations operating below 2.7 GHz.
Spectrum Requirement for 470-960 MHz in Region 1: Discussions addressed the spectrum needs within the 470-960 MHz frequency range, which is critical for various communication and broadcasting services in Region 1.
New Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Allocation (117-975137 MHz): A new allocation has been proposed for Aeronautical Mobile Satellite services within the frequency range of 117-975137 MHz to support growing aviation communication needs.
Introduction of Digital Safety Applications in the AMS HF Band: The introduction of digital safety applications in the Aeronautical Mobile Satellite (AMS) HF band, based on ITU studies, aims to improve safety and operational efficiency.
Modernisation of GMDSS and E-Navigation: The modernisation of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) includes the introduction of e-navigation. New frequency bands (161.9625 to 161.9875 MHz and 162.0125 to 162.0375 MHz) are being considered for automatic identification systems (AIS).
New Secondary Allocation for EESS (Active) for Space-Borne Radar Sounder: A new secondary allocation around 45 MHz for Earth Exploration Satellite Services (Active) will support space-borne radar sounder applications.
