The World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC19) closing
NEWS
The conference focused, among other things, on new frequency bands for IMT in the millimeter band as well as on defining the conditions of usage of these bands for the protection of existing radiocommunication services, the conditions of use of RLAN devices in the 5 GHz band, new bands for the amateur service and nanosatellite application procedures.
ZAGREB, November 27, 2019 – By closing ceremony and signing the Final Acts on November 22, 2019, the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC19) ended . Under the auspicies of International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Telecommunication Conference (WRC) is held every three to four years, attended by the ITU Member States (193 Member States), with the aim of amending the Radio Regulations (RR).The ITU Radio Regulations are an international treaty governing the usage of the radio frequency spectrum and geostationary and non-geostationary satellite orbits. In short, according to a pre-agreed agenda, the alocation of radio frequency bands is changing and the terms of conditions and procedures related to the application are being agreed as well as the usage of satellites.
The focus of the last WRC was on new bandwidths for IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) in millimeter band as well as defining conditions of usage of these bands for the protection of existing radiocommunications services, the conditions for using RLAN (Radio Local Area Network) devices in the 5 GHz band, new belts for amateur service, nanosatellite application procedures, etc.
The WRC19 highlighted results as follows:
The usage of RLANs in the 5150 - 5250 MHz band is enabled in open spaces with EIRP limits of 200 mW and 1W respectively (depending on other conditions).

- World-class IMTs are designed for bands or parts of bands: 24,25-27,5 GHz; 37-42.5 GHz and 66-71 GHz.
- Croatia has additionally joined the initiative, which also targets the band 45.5 - 47 GHz for IMT
- The first band to be allocated in the millimeter-wide area at the European level is 24.25-27.5 GHz, for which a level of out-of-band radiation has already been defined at CEPT and the EU levels in order to protect passive satellite measurements for meteorological needs (-42 dBW / (200 MHz) for base stations and -38 dBW / (200 MHz) for user devices). WRC19 brought different, less restrictive protection levels: by 1 September 2027, the -33 dBW / (200 MHz) limit for base stations and -29 dBW / (200 MHz) for user devices would apply, while after 1 September 9. 2027 applies a limit of -39 dBW / (200 MHz) for base stations and -35 dBW / (200 MHz) for user devices. The harmonization of these levels must be discussed at the EU level in the coming period. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has expressed its concern about the possible impact of IMT with new protective levels on meteorological passive systems. Croatia endorsed the WMO statement.
The usage of RLANs in the 5150 - 5250 MHz band is enabled in open spaces with EIRP limits of 200 mW and 1W respectively (depending on other conditions).
- The 50-52 MHz band is aimed at secondary amateur service in Region 1 In addition in Croatia and Austria, Cyprus, Vatican, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Netherlands, Czech Republic, UK, Slovenia and Slovakia, the band 50.0-50.5 MHz is aimed at amateur service on a primary basis, but only with mandatory radio difusion protection protection of fixed and mobile services in other countries.
- For NGSO nano / picosatellites with a lifetime of up to 3 years, it is possible to use the 137 - 138 MHz (space-> Earth) and 148-149.9 MHz (Earth-> space) frequency bands for telemetry, monitoring and control purposes, which are intended for the usage in Space Operation Service. A simplified ITU application process is predicted provided that they must not cause interference or seek non-interference non-protected over other primary services in these bands and must provide AM (R) S (Aeronautical Mobile ( Route) Service) services in the adjacent band.zzz
- An agenda for the next WRC was agreed, including,: consideration of 470-694 MHz (UHF), 3300-3400 MHz, and 6425-7125 MHz for possible allocation for IMT, consideration of some bands below 2.7 GHz for high IMT platforms (HIBS), etc.
