Agenda

§ Spectrum Management in Singapore

§ Digital Dividend

§ White Space


Spectrum management in Singapore

§ Spectrum is limited and valuable

§ IDA responsible for managing frequency spectrum in Singapore§ Identifies usage of spectrum bands to best meet needs of end

users (e.g. Radio Spectrum Master Plan)§ In line with global and regional standards, market and technology

trends§ Ensures spectrum is efficiently allocated and utilised

§ Allocation via most economically efficient methods (e.g. auction)§ Sets conditions for usage of spectrum

§ E.g., what it can be used for, minimum infrastructure deployment requirements etc


Spectrum Allocation Overview

International Level Regional Level

International consensus on the allocation of radio

frequency spectrum

Development of the Radio Regulations that governs

the use of spectrum

Spectrum allocation will be based on 3 regions

Harmonisation and cross- border coordination

Spectrum band plan and channeling planning

agreements

National Level

Planning and application of spectrum nationally

Definition of the technical operating parameters

(e.g. transmitter power) for the use of spectrum

Assignment of spectrum to licensees

Based on ITU’s spectrum allocation framework & the emerging technology roadmap, IDA has identified all suitable spectrum

Mobile (2G, 3G, 4G),


Spectrum management in Singapore

§ IDA’s spectrum management policies support the increasing

demand for wireless broadband services§ 2005 – IDA auctioned off spectrum in 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz bands for WBA§ 2008 – Mobile operators allowed to deploy 3G services in 2G bands (i.e.,

900/1800 MHz)§ 2010 – IDA allowed assignment of constrained frequencies in 2.5 GHz band

under non-interference and unprotected conditions§ 2011 – Mobile operators allowed to deploy 4G services in 1800 MHz and 2.5

GHz bands§ 2012 – Conducted public consultation on proposed auction of spectrum for

4G services§ Proposing to release up to 320 MHz of spectrum in 1800 MHz, 2.3 GHz and 2.5

GHz bands

§ By 2013 – To conduct auction of spectrum for 4G services

• Total: 320 MHz for auction (280 MHz for existing players, 40 MHz for new entrant)• Cap on winning amount to prevent excessive hoarding by any one player.

• Must use spectrum to deploy 4G services• Technology neutral – so long as minimum speed and mobility requirements are met

• Must have nationwide 4G systems and service coverage• After 1 year from allocation (excluding underground stations and tunnels)• After 3 year from allocation (all underground stations and tunnels)

Digital Dividend

§ Digital Transmissions make more efficient use of spectrum; spectrum freed up for WBA (commonly known as Digital Dividend)

§ IDA working closely with regional partners for the simulcast period and analogue switch off between 2015 – 2020

§ IDA supports APT 700 MHz band plan§ To make available up to 2x45 MHz of spectrum for mobile broadband services

§ Subject to further discussions with regional partners

Cross-border Coordination

§ Cross-border coordination aims to pre-empt any mutual harmful

interference between countries§ Agreement to lay down the spectrum band plans & technical operating

limits at the border areas

§ Frequency coordination with neighbouring countries:§ FACSMAB - Frequency Assignment Committee for Singapore, Malaysia

and Brunei; Monthly meeting with half-yearly Review meeting§ BCCM - Border Communication coordination Meeting between Singapore

and Indonesia; Half-yearly meeting with respective Operators participating

in discussion on Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) issues§ TCM - Trilateral Coordination Meeting between Indonesia, Malaysia and

Singapore; Half-yearly meeting


Harmonised Channeling Plan for Wireless Broadband Service in 2.5/2.6 GHz

§ FACSMAB members re-planning taking into consideration of existing services operating in the band§ Existing assignment based on 6MHz channeling plan that would not be optimized

for emerging technologies such as WiMax and LTE

§ Harmonised and adopting CEPT’s band plan and channeling plan for wireless broadband services in 2./2.6Hz band§ Enabling full band sharing in common border areas

Existing band plan

Harmonised Channeling Plan: 70MHz x 2 (FDD) & 50MHz (TDD)
