a. In the draft Annexure B, Security Systems were proposed to operate at the frequency 464.5375 MHz and Low Power Radios were proposed to operate at the frequency 463.975 MHz, 464.125 MHz, 464.175 MHz, 464.325 MHz and 464.375 MHz.

 

b. Submissions received

Telkom recommends that the frequency band be added (i.e., 464.525-464.550 MHz) rather than just the centre frequency (464.5375 MHz) for frequencies from 463.975 MHz to 464.375 MHz in order to align with the convention used in the rest of the RFSAR.

 

c. The Authority’s Response

The Authority notes recommendation regarding the use of frequency ranges instead of channels for frequencies 463.975MHz, 464.125MHz, 464.175MHz, 464.325MHz, 464.375MHz, and 464.5375MHz, however the Authority retain the allocations in order to limit the Low Power Radios and Security Systems operations in the said spot frequencies.
