operated by other administrations. In addition, earth stations in the Earth exploration-satellite service
or in the space research service should be operated taking into account the most recent version of
Recommendation ITU-R SA.1862. (WRC-12)
5.537
Space services using non-geostationary satellites operating in the inter-satellite service
in the band 27-27.5 GHz are exempt from the provisions of No. 22.2.
5.538
Additional allocation: the bands 27.500-27.501 GHz and 29.999-30.000 GHz are also
allocated to the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) on a primary basis for the beacon
transmissions intended for up-link power control. Such space-to-Earth transmissions shall not exceed
an equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) of +10 dBW in the direction of adjacent satellites on
the geostationary-satellite orbit.
(WRC-07)
5.539
The band 27.5-30 GHz may be used by the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) for the
provision of feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service.
5.540
Additional allocation: the band 27.501-29.999 GHz is also allocated to the fixed-satellite
service (space-to-Earth) on a secondary basis for beacon transmissions intended for up-link power
control.
5.541
In the band 28.5-30 GHz, the earth exploration-satellite service is limited to the transfer
of data between stations and not to the primary collection of information by means of active or passive
sensors.
5.541A
Feeder links of non-geostationary networks in the mobile-satellite service and
geostationary networks in the fixed-satellite service operating in the band 29.1-29.5 GHz (Earth-tospace) shall employ uplink adaptive power control or other methods of fade compensation, such that
the earth station transmissions shall be conducted at the power level required to meet the desired link
performance while reducing the level of mutual interference between both networks. These methods
shall apply to networks for which Appendix 4 coordination information is considered as having been
received by the Bureau after 17 May 1996 and until they are changed by a future competent world
radiocommunication conference. Administrations submitting Appendix 4 information for coordination
before this date are encouraged to utilize these techniques to the extent practicable. (WRC-2000)
5.543
The band 29.95-30 GHz may be used for space-to-space links in the Earth explorationsatellite service for telemetry, tracking, and control purposes, on a secondary basis.
5.544
In the band 31-31.3 GHz the power flux-density limits specified in Article 21, Table 21-4
shall apply to the space research service.
5.547
The bands 31.8-33.4 GHz, 37-40 GHz, 40.5-43.5 GHz, 51.4-52.6 GHz, 55.78-59 GHz
and 64-66 GHz are available for high-density applications in the fixed service (see Resolution 75
(WRC-2000)). Administrations should take this into account when considering regulatory provisions in
relation to these bands. Because of the potential deployment of high-density applications in the fixedsatellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see No. 5.516B), administrations should
further take into account potential constraints to high-density applications in the fixed service, as
appropriate. (WRC-07)
5.547A
Administrations should take practical measures to minimize the potential interference
between stations in the fixed service and airborne stations in the radionavigation service in the 31.833.4 GHz band, taking into account the operational needs of the airborne radar
systems. (WRC-2000)
5.548
In designing systems for the inter-satellite service in the band 32.3-33 GHz, for the
radionavigation service in the band 32-33 GHz, and for the space research service (deep space) in
the band 31.8-32.3 GHz, administrations shall take all necessary measures to prevent harmful
interference between these services, bearing in mind the safety aspects of the radionavigation service
(see Recommendation 707). (WRC-03)
