Intent This consultation paper, announced in Canada Gazette notice SMSE-004-13, proposes revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (the Canadian Table), taking into account the results of the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12) and domestic requirements. The Canadian Table was last modified in 2009, to incorporate the results of WRC-07 and implement certain domestic spectrum policies. Subsequent changes have also been made since then to reflect changes in domestic spectrum utilization policies. 2. Background The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) adopts an international Table of Frequency Allocations (the International Table) as part of its Radio Regulations (RR). This International Table allocates spectrum to various combinations of radio services and may include conditions for the use of the spectrum. The International Table is revised, along with other parts of the international Radio Regulations, at meetings of the ITU World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC), which are held on a periodic basis, typically every three to four years. The Canadian Table is derived from the International Table and contains those radio services required to meet Canadian needs, among those allocated by the ITU, including the applicable international footnotes. This domestic table also specifies, by allocation and Canadian footnote, any additional provisions for use of those radio services in Canada. Industry Canada revises the Canadian Table on a periodic basis, normally following a WRC. WRC-12, which met from January 23 to February 17, 2012, in Geneva, Switzerland, adopted several changes to the frequency allocations in the International Table. The Conference dealt with issues concerning amateur, fixed, mobile, broadcasting, radiolocation, navigation, space science, broadcasting-satellite, mobile-satellite and the fixed-satellite services. The resulting changes to the International Table necessitate consideration of several domestic issues. Also, domestic requirements for other changes to the Canadian Table have emerged, and will be addressed as well. The remainder of this document discusses these issues and makes proposals for revisions to the Canadian Table. 3. Process Canada Gazette notice SMSE-004-13 invites public comments on the proposed revisions contained in this consultation paper. Following the review of comments received, the allocation decisions will be promulgated by the issuance of a revised edition of the Canadian Table. 1 Proposed Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations SMSE-004-13 4. Structure of the Document Section 7 of this consultation paper is divided into seven Parts that address the proposed changes to the Canadian Table consequential to the decisions made at WRC-12 and other domestic spectrum policy modifications or decisions. Parts A through F identify the related WRC-12 agenda items, whereas Part G proposes modifications to the Canadian Table not related to the outcome of WRC-12. 5. Conventions Used in the Document The proposals contained in this document are identified as modifications to the Canadian Table, last revised and published in December 2009 (The current version of the Canadian Table may be obtained from Industry Canada’s website at http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/h_sf01678.html). For a better understanding of these proposals, refer to the most recent International Table, as found in the ITU’s Radio Regulations, Volume 1 (2008 Edition), Article 5, and the Final Acts of the World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2012). Underlining When used in the Canadian Table, underlining proposes the addition of a radio service or footnote. It is also used in the text of Canadian footnotes to identify proposed additional text. Strikeout When used in the Canadian Table, strikeout proposes the deletion of a radio service or footnote. It is also used in the text of Canadian footnotes to identify proposed deleted text. 5.XXX This is the designation format of an international footnote. CXX This identifies a Canadian footnote. MOD This indicates an international footnote modified at WRC-12 or a Canadian footnote proposed for modification. These appear in both the Canadian Table and in the lists of footnotes. ADD This is used in a list of footnotes to indicate an international footnote created at WRC-12 or a proposed new Canadian footnote. ADD MOD This indicates the proposed addition of an international footnote to the Canadian Table as modified at WRC-12. SUP This is used in a list of footnotes to indicate an international footnote suppressed at WRC-12 or a Canadian footnote proposed for suppression. 2 Proposed Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations SMSE-004-13 6. Definitions The following is a list of terms and definitions that are relevant to the Canadian Table. These terms and definitions have been extracted from the ITU’s Radio Regulations, which should be consulted for a more comprehensive listing. 6.1 General Terms Administration: Any governmental department or service responsible for discharging the obligations undertaken in the Constitution of the International Telecommunication Union, in the Convention of the International Telecommunication Union and in the Administrative Regulations.

    Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (2018 Edition)

    Published April 2018 Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (2018 Edition) Aussi disponible en français Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 2018 The revised Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations is available electronically on ISED’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications website. i Foreword The Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (Canadian Table) assigns the electromagnetic spectrum and establishes the frequency allocations available for radio services in Canada. The Canadian Table is based on the provisions of the Final Acts resulting from the various World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC), including the 2015 WRC, convened by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The Canadian Table and the associated general information will, from time to time, need to be revised. Such revisions occur when changes to the ITU Table of Frequency Allocations (ITU Table) are made as a result of World Radiocommunication Conferences or particular Canadian radio service requirements. The Canadian Table reflects international changes while taking into account Canadian requirements to ensure that government, commercial and private users have full flexibility to develop new radio applications and systems. The Canadian Table is intended to respond to Canadian domestic spectrum requirements, and consequently reflects Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s (ISED) spectrum allocation and utilization policies developed through public consultation. It should be noted, therefore, that the Canadian Table differs, where necessary, from the ITU Table. Canadian radio systems and spectrum utilization policies set the necessary elements for the use of frequency bands and/or radio services. Spectrum policies have traditionally designated the use of a radio service to certain applications in a particular frequency band, or bands.

Struzak Abstract These notes introduce the ITU Radio Regulations and related UN and WTO agreements that specify how terrestrial and satellite radio should be used in all countries over the planet. Access to the existing information infrastructure, and to that of the future Information Society, depends critically on these regulations. The paper also discusses few problems related to the use of the radio frequencies and satellite orbits. The notes are extracted from a book under preparation, in which these issues are discussed in more detail. Introduction to International Radio Regulations 3 Contents 1. Background 5 2.

The converging computer and communications technologies add “intelligence” to old applications and generate new ones. The enormous impact of radio on the society continues to increase although we still do not fully understand all consequences of that process. There are numerous areas in which the radio frequency spectrum is vital. National defence, public safety, weather forecasts, disaster warning, air-traffic control, and air navigation are a few examples only.

No.: W805 Project No.: 0704C550-CA Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited. ©2004 The MITRE Corporation Washington C3 Center McLean, Virginia Foreword Each day the military relies on spectrum-dependent technologies to complete its missions. New technologies found in radars, sensors, satellites, radios, and wireless devices make information superiority a reality and are an integral part of military operations. The effectiveness of ships at sea, soldiers in the field, and planes in the sky depend on the capabilities of these systems. In turn, the capabilities of these systems are dependent on the unseen resource of spectrum. In the past, the availability of this unseen resource was a minor issue for the DoD, as there was ample spectrum access to meet its needs. However, today, new technologies, the needs of other users (government and commercial), and the proliferation of wireless technologies worldwide have made maintaining even current spectrum allocations difficult. New, exciting wireless communication products are creating a large demand for spectrum. Wireless subscriber services are growing rapidly worldwide. Emerging countries, in an effort to modernize, are choosing to deploy wireless infrastructure in lieu of wired infrastructure since it costs less. All of these factors make a more competitive environment for worldwide spectrum access. As the recent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq can attest, the DoD achieves much of its military capability from exploiting technology, especially information technology.
