Table of Rwandan Frequency Allocations
___________________________________________________________________
Relevant ITU international footnotes applying to Rwanda
The following footnotes to the international table of frequency allocations, as contained in
Article 5 of the ITU Radio Regulations, appear in the Table of Rwandan Frequency
Allocations, and therefore apply to Rwanda.
5.A110 The frequency bands 161.9625-161.9875 MHz and 162.0125-162.0375 MHz may be used by
aircraft stations for the purpose of search and rescue operations and other safety-related
communications.
5.A111 The location of earth stations in the space research service shall maintain a separation
distance of at least 54 km from the respective border(s) of neighbouring countries to protect the
existing and future deployment of fixed and mobile services unless a shorter distance is otherwise
agreed between the corresponding administrations. Nos. 9.17 and 9.18 do not apply.
5.A113 Use of the band 24.65-25.25 GHz in Region 1 and the band 24.65-24.75 GHz in Region 3 by
the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) is limited to earth stations using a minimum antenna
diameter of 4.5 m. (WRC-12)
5.A115 Stations in the radiolocation service shall not cause harmful interference to, or claim
protection from, stations operating in the fixed or mobile services. Applications of the radiolocation
service are limited to oceanographic radars operating in accordance with Resolution 612 (Rev.WRC12).5.A116 Use of the 8.3-11.3 kHz frequency band by stations in the meteorological aids service is
limited to passive use only. In the band 9-11.3 kHz, meteorological aids stations shall not claim
protection from stations of the radionavigation service submitted for notification to the Bureau prior to
1 January 2013. For sharing between stations of the meteorological aids service and stations in the
radionavigation service submitted for notification after this date, the most recent version of
Recommendation ITU-R RS.1881 should be applied.
5.A121 In the frequency band 15.4-15.7 GHz, stations operating in the radiolocation service shall not
cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, stations operating in the aeronautical
radionavigation service.
5.A123 The maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) of stations in the amateur
service using frequencies in the band 472-479 kHz shall not exceed 1 W. Administrations may
increase this limit of e.i.r.p. to 5 W in portions of their territory which are at a distance of over 800 km
from the borders of Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, China, Comoros, Djibouti,
Egypt, United Arab Emirates, the Russian Federation, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Jordan,
Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Oman, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Syrian Arab
Republic, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Ukraine and Yemen. In this frequency band, stations
in the amateur service shall not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, stations of the
aeronautical radionavigation service.
5.B103 In the frequency bands 5 000-5 030 MHz and 5 091-5 150 MHz, the aeronautical mobilesatellite (R) service is subject to agreement obtained under No. 9.21. The use of these bands by the
aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service is limited to internationally standardized aeronautical
systems.
5.B110 The use of the frequency bands 161.9625-161.9875 MHz and 162.0125-162.0375 MHz by
the fixed and land mobile services shall not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from,
the maritime mobile service.
5.B113 In the band 21.4-22 GHz, in order to facilitate the development of the broadcastingsatellite
service, administrations in Regions 1 and 3 are encouraged not to deploy stations in the mobile
