Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (Act No. 36 of 2005)ICASANotice regarding Final Radio Frequency Assignment Plans for the Frequency Band 138 to 144 MHz in terms of Regulation 3 of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations, 20154. Channelling Plan |
| 4.1 | As shown in Annexure A National Radio Frequency Allocation table, ITU Region 1 spectrum allocation highlights 3 sub bands, i.e. (1) 138 - 143.6 MHz, (2) 143.6 - 143.65 MHz, and (3) 143.65 - 144 MHz. The latter two sub bands are allocated to Aeronautical Mobile and/or Space Research in the ITU Region 1. However, South Africa has Fixed and Mobile only allocation from 138 - 144 MHz i.e., one sub band only. |
| 4.2 | The frequency band 138 - 144 MHz provides a total bandwidth of 6 MHz for alarms and other single and dual frequency (SF and DF) links. |
| 4.3 | The previous and new channel arrangements for the band are based on Appendix A and shown in Figure 1. |
