Table of Rwandan Frequency Allocations
___________________________________________________________________
Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Chad, Togo, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the band
138-144 MHz is allocated to the fixed and mobile services on a primary basis. (WRC-12)
5.218
Additional allocation: the band 148-149.9 MHz is also allocated to the space operation
service (Earth-to-space) on a primary basis, subject to agreement obtained under No. 9.21. The
bandwidth of any individual transmission shall not exceed ± 25 kHz.
5.219
The use of the band 148-149.9 MHz by the mobile-satellite service is subject to
coordination under No. 9.11A. The mobile-satellite service shall not constrain the development and
use of the fixed, mobile and space operation services in the band 148-149.9 MHz.
5.220
The use of the bands 149.9-150.05 MHz and 399.9-400.05 MHz by the mobile-satellite
service is subject to coordination under No. 9.11A. The mobile-satellite service shall not constrain the
development and use of the radionavigation-satellite service in the bands 149.9-150.05 MHz and
399.9-400.05 MHz. (WRC-97)
5.222
Emissions of the radionavigation-satellite service in the bands 149.9-150.05 MHz and
399.9-400.05 MHz may also be used by receiving earth stations of the space research service.
5.223
Recognizing that the use of the band 149.9-150.05 MHz by the fixed and mobile services
may cause harmful interference to the radionavigation-satellite service, administrations are urged not
to authorize such use in application of No. 4.4.
5.224A
The use of the bands 149.9-150.05 MHz and 399.9-400.05 MHz by the mobile-satellite
service (Earth-to-space) is limited to the land mobile-satellite service (Earth-to-space) until
1 January 2015. (WRC-97)
5.224B
The allocation of the bands 149.9-150.05 MHz and 399.9-400.05 MHz to the
radionavigation-satellite service shall be effective until 1 January 2015. (WRC-97)
5.226
The frequency 156.525 MHz is the international distress, safety and calling frequency for
the maritime mobile VHF radiotelephone service using digital selective calling (DSC). The conditions
for the use of this frequency and the band 156.4875-156.5625 MHz are contained in Articles 31
and 52, and in Appendix 18.
The frequency 156.8 MHz is the international distress, safety and calling frequency for
the maritime mobile VHF radiotelephone service. The conditions for the use of this frequency and the
band 156.7625-156.8375 MHz are contained in Article 31 and Appendix 18.
In the bands 156-156.4875 MHz, 156.5625-156.7625 MHz, 156.8375-157.45 MHz,
160.6-160.975 MHz and 161.475-162.05 MHz, each administration shall give priority to the maritime
mobile service on only such frequencies as are assigned to stations of the maritime mobile service by
the administration (see Articles 31 and 52, and Appendix 18).
Any use of frequencies in these bands by stations of other services to which they are
allocated should be avoided in areas where such use might cause harmful interference to the
maritime mobile VHF radiocommunication service.
However, the frequencies 156.8 MHz and 156.525 MHz and the frequency bands in
which priority is given to the maritime mobile service may be used for radiocommunications on inland
waterways subject to agreement between interested and affected administrations and taking into
account current frequency usage and existing agreements. (WRC-07)
5.227
Additional allocation: the bands 156.4875-156.5125 MHz and 156.5375-156.5625 MHz
are also allocated to the fixed and land mobile services on a primary basis. The use of these bands by
the fixed and land mobile services shall not cause harmful interference to nor claim protection from
the maritime mobile VHF radiocommunication service. (WRC-07)
5.254
The bands 235-322 MHz and 335.4-399.9 MHz may be used by the mobile-satellite
service, subject to agreement obtained under No. 9.21, on condition that stations in this service do not
cause harmful interference to those of other services operating or planned to be operated in
