5.543A (SUP – WRC-19)
5.543B The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency band 31-31.3 GHz is identified
for worldwide use by high-altitude platform stations (HAPS). This identification does
not preclude the use of this frequency band by other fixed-service applications or
by other services to which this frequency band is allocated on a co-primary basis,
and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. Such use of the fixed-service
allocation by HAPS shall be in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 167 (WRC-19). (WRC-19)
5.544 In the band 31-31.3 GHz the power flux-density limits specified in Article 21, Table 21-4 shall apply to the space research service.

64-66 GHz are available for high-density applications in the fixed service (see Resolution
75 (WRC-2000)). Administrations should take this into account when considering regulatory provisions
in relation to these bands. Because of the potential deployment of high-density applications
in the fixed-satellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to high-density
applications in the fixed service, as appropriate. (WRC-07)
5.547A Administrations should take practical measures to minimize the potential interference
between stations in the fixed service and airborne stations in the radionavigation
service in the 31.8-33.4 GHz band, taking into account the operational needs of the
airborne radar systems. (WRC-2000)

5.550A For sharing of the band 36-37 GHz between the Earth exploration-satellite (passive)
service and the fixed and mobile services, Resolution 752 (WRC-07) shall apply. (WRC-07)
5.550B The frequency band 37-43.5 GHz, or portions thereof, is identified for use by administrations
wishing to implement the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications
(IMT). This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band by any
application of the services to which it is allocated and does not establish priority
in the Radio Regulations. Because of the potential deployment of FSS earth stations
within the frequency range 37.5-42.5 GHz and high-density applications in the fixed-satellite
service in the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz in Region 1, 40-40.5 GHz in all Regions
and 40.5-42 GHz in Region 2 (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to IMT in

5.550D The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency band 38-39.5 GHz is identified
for worldwide use by administrations wishing to implement high-altitude platform stations
(HAPS). In the HAPS-to-ground direction, the HAPS ground station shall not claim protection
from stations in the fixed, mobile and fixed-satellite services; and No. 5.43A does not apply. This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band
by other fixed-service applications or by other services to which this frequency band
is allocated on a co-primary basis and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations.
Furthermore, the development of the fixed-satellite, fixed and mobile services shall
not be unduly constrained by HAPS. Such use of the fixed-service allocation by HAPS
shall be in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 168 (WRC-19). (WRC-19)
5.550E The use of the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40-40.5 GHz by non-geostationary-satellite
systems in the mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) and by non-geostationary-satellite
systems in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) is subject to the application
of the provisions of No. 9.12 for coordination with other non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite

station of any country whose administration so agreed. (WRC-03)
5.552 The allocation of the spectrum for the fixed-satellite service in the bands 42.5-43.5 GHz
and 47.2-50.2 GHz for Earth-to-space transmission is greater than that in the band
37.5-39.5 GHz for space-to-Earth transmission in order to accommodate feeder links
to broadcasting satellites. Administrations are urged to take all practicable steps
to reserve the band 47.2-49.2 GHz for feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite
service operating in the band 40.5-42.5 GHz.
5.552A The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency bands 47.2-47.5 GHz and 47.9-48.2 GHz

5.564 (SUP – WRC-2000)
5.564A For the operation of fixed and land mobile service applications in frequency bands
in the range 275- 450 GHz:
The frequency bands 275-296 GHz, 306-313 GHz, 318-333 GHz and 356-450 GHz are identified
for use by administrations for the implementation of land mobile and fixed service
applications, where no specific conditions are necessary to protect Earth exploration-satellite
service (passive) applications.
The frequency bands 296-306 GHz, 313-318 GHz and 333-356 GHz may only be used by fixed
and land mobile service applications when specific conditions to ensure the protection
of Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) applications are determined in accordance
with Resolution 731 (Rev.WRC-19).
In those portions of the frequency range 275-450 GHz where radio astronomy applications
are used, specific conditions (e.g. minimum separation distances and/or avoidance
angles) may be necessary to ensure protection of radio astronomy sites from land mobile
and/or fixed service applications, on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Resolution
731 (Rev.WRC-19).
The use of the above-mentioned frequency bands by land mobile and fixed service applications
does not preclude use by, and does not establish priority over, any other applications
of radio services in the range of 275-450 GHz. (WRC-19)
5.565 The following frequency bands in the range 275-1 000 GHz are identified for use by
administrations for passive service applications:
-
– radio astronomy service: 275-323 GHz, 327-371 GHz, 388-424 GHz, 426-442 GHz, 453-510 GHz,
623-711 GHz, 795-909 GHz and 926-945 GHz;
-
– Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) and space research service (passive):
275-286 GHz, 296-306 GHz, 313-356 GHz, 361-365 GHz, 369-392 GHz, 397-399 GHz, 409-411 GHz,
416-434 GHz, 439-467 GHz, 477-502 GHz, 523-527 GHz, 538-581 GHz, 611-630 GHz, 634-654 GHz,

857-862 GHz, 866-882 GHz, 905-928 GHz, 951-956 GHz, 968-973 GHz and 985-990 GHz.
The use of the range 275-1 000 GHz by the passive services does not preclude use of
this range by active services. Administrations wishing to make frequencies in the
275-1 000 GHz range available for active service applications are urged to take all
practicable steps to protect these passive services from harmful interference until
the date when the Table of Frequency Allocations is established in the above-mentioned
275-1 000 GHz frequency range.
All frequencies in the range 1 000-3 000 GHz may be used by both active and passive
services. (WRC-12)
