| a. | In the draft Annexure B, the bands 5795-5805 MHz, 5805-5815 MHz, and 76-77 GHz were proposed for TTT with the references ECC/REC/(05)02 and ECC/REC/(09)01 for the band 76-77 GHz. |
| b. | Submissions received |
Telkom recommends adding a reference to ITU-R Rec. M.1453 (“Intelligent transport systems which are dedicated short-range communications at 5.8 GHz”) in Column F of the RFSAR as it relates to the use of the bands 5795-5805 MHz and 5805-5815 MHz for TTT.
Telkom recommends the addition of a reference to ECC Report 262 in the band 76-77 GHz.
| c. | The Authority’s Response |
The Authority notes the recommendation to add the reference to ITUR Rec. M.1453 for TTT applications, however the Authority maintains that the reference is for ITS and not applicable for TTT.
The Authority notes the recommendation to add the relevant Decision as a reference for TTT applications, however the Authority maintains there is no active ECC Decision for the TTT applications.
The Authority notes the recommendation regarding the addition of the reference ECC Report 262; however the Authority maintains that reference CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 already contains the Report ECC Report 262, therefore referencing CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 means the Report is implied.
