| 3.1 | Technical characteristics of equipment used in IMT750 systems will conform to all applicable South African standards, international standards, International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and its radio regulations as agreed and adopted by South Africa. |
| 3.2 | All installations must comply with safety rules as specified in applicable standards. |
| 3.3 | The equipment used will be certified under South African law and regulations. |
| 3.4 | The IMT800 band ranges between 791 - 821 MHz paired with 832 - 862 MHz. |
| 3.5 | The IMT800 band will be for mobile voice and data communications. |
| 3.6 | The requirements for the standard families which can provide IMT800 services include, but are not limited to: |
| 3.7 | Typical technical and operational characteristics of IMT systems as identified by the ITU are described in the following documents1: |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.2012-5 (02/2022): Detailed specifications of the terrestrial radio interfaces of International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT Advanced); |
| • | Report ITU-R- M.2241-0(2011): Compatibility studies in relation to Resolution 224 in the bands 698-806 MHz and 790-862 MHz; |
| • | Report ITU-R M.2074-0 (2006): Report on Radio Aspects for the terrestrial component of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000; |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.1645 (06/2003): Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000; |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.1036-6 (10/2019): Frequency arrangements for implementation of the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) in the bands identified for IMT in the Radio Regulations (RR); and |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.2150-1 (02/2022): Detailed specifications of the terrestrial radio interfaces of International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020). |
The ITU also provides guidelines for modelling and simulation, e.g.:
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.2070-1 (02/2017): Generic unwanted emission characteristics of base stations using the terrestrial radio interfaces of IMT-Advanced; |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.2071-1 (02/2017): Generic unwanted emission characteristics of mobile stations using the terrestrial radio interfaces of IMT-Advanced; and |
| • | Recommendation ITU-R M.2101 (02/2017): Modelling and simulation of IMT networks and systems for use in sharing and compatibility studies. |
