WRC-07 reaches decision on mobile spectrum

As the World Radio Conference in Geneva draws to a close agreement appears to have been reached on the most contentious issue - Agenda item 1.4: which bands should be identified for advanced mobile services.

Last night delegates from around the world agreed that the IMT bands should be the following: the VHF band - 450-470MHz; 2.3-2.4GHz; and C band - 3.4-3.6GHz. It is thought that this designation would apply in all regions. The UHF band - 698-862MHz - has also been identified for IMT but only in Region 2 (North and South America) and in six countries of Region 3 (Asia, Russia and Australia).
