ICTS REGION II COORDINATOR UPDATE New Item 1.5 Views Submitted by Brazil Delegation for CITEL Forwarded to ICTS by Mr. Luiz Fernando de Souza (Embraer). 27 SEP 2005 Document for the VI Meeting of Permanent Consultative Committee II in San Jose, Costa Rica from 25 - 28 OCT 2005. Preliminary Views: * Brazil, Canada & USA: Support further studies to satisfy Agenda Item while recognizing protection of incumbent services, especially fixed-satellite service in the candidate 5.091 – 5.510 GHz band. * Brazil: Amount of spectrum for wideband ATM limited to 100 MHz. * Brazil: Serious concerns about 4.4 - 5.0, 5.925 - 6.700 & 22.5 – 23.6 GHz candidate bands. * Brazil: New ATM band should be flagged for only “wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand.” * Canada: Future analysis of associated definitions (telecommand, telemetry, airborne station, etc.) may be necessary.



ICTS REGION II COORDINATOR UPDATE USA Migration from 1710-1755 MHz ATM Band

Proofed DRAFT “An Estimate of the Costs Associated with the Relocation of DoD Spectrum Dependent Systems Operating in the 1710-1755 MHz Band” Documents (DEC 04 & JUN 05).

Proposed DoD Spectrum Relocation Management Office ($21.7million): * For integrated oversight of DoD’s relocation efforts FY07-FY12. * Single focal point for interface to NTIA & OMB (answers queries). * Facilitates the requests for & release of reimbursement funds. * Tracks, monitors & reports DoD’s relocations progress to support the NTIAs Annual Report to Congress. * Manages interaction with the Advanced Wireless Services build-up. * Ensures all DoD systems are relocated successfully/punctually.
