The Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulator (TRR) has, today Friday 27 June 2014, released its Consultation Paper on Fixed Service Spectrum Band Planning in Vanuatu, for public comment. This Consultation Document has been developed to facilitate the planning and allocation of radiofrequency spectrum for fixed services in Vanuatu.
The Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulation Act 2009 mandates TRR to regulate the telecommunications sector and to manage the radio frequency spectrum, in order to promote national social and economic development.
Through the release of this Consultation Paper, TRR is initiating a public consultation process on the technical framework for the allocation of radio spectrum for fixed services in Vanuatu. The paper presents options for planning, including suggested bands for fixed microwave systems, bands that should be set aside for the provision of ubiquitous satellite services, and bands that should be set aside for future mobile telephony and mobile broadband services.
The paper seeks and welcomes input from industry, carriers and vendors on the proposals put forward by TRR. Questions are posed at appropriate points throughout the paper. These are suggestions, proposals and/or requests for feedback. Industry is therefore invited and requested to provide feedback on any aspect of this paper and on issue they feel is important.
