| 3.1 | Technical characteristics of equipment used in IMT2300 systems must conform to all applicable South African standards, and international standards, including those of the ITU and its radio regulations as agreed upon and adopted by South Africa |
| 3.2 | All installations must comply with safety rules as specified in applicable standards. |
| 3.3 | The equipment used must be certified under South African law and regulations. |
| 3.4 | The allocation of this frequency band and the information in this RFSAP are subject to periodic review having regard to Recommendations and Reports emanating from ITU-R. |
| 3.5 | The IMT2300 band ranges between 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz3. |
| 3.6 | The IMT2300 band will be used for IMT-TDD. |
| 3.7 | The requirements for the family of standards which can provide IMT2300 services include, but are not limited to: |
| 3.8 | Typical technical and operational characteristics of IMT systems as identified by the ITU are described in the following documents 5: |
| • | 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.2074-0 (2006): 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 the 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). |
| 3.9 | 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. |
