Limiting the rights of use in the 450 MHz band


Following the approval of the NFAP 2007 and of the action plan stated in section 4 of the corresponding analysis report, a plan containing an indicative timetable of the activities regarding the granting of spectrum in the 450-470 MHz band for the provision of the publicly available land mobile service, ICP-ANACOM, as per determination of 4 October 2007, carried out a general consultation procedure on the limitation of rights of use in the frequencies to be granted. The approval of the analysis report resulting from the launched consultation took place in 2008, as per decision of 17 January 2008, which confirmed the measures proposed on the DD, namely:

  • To limit to one the amount of rights of frequency use to be granted in 450-470 MHz frequency band for the provision of the publicly available land mobile service;

  • To define the public tender mode as the procedure for granting this right of frequency use;

  • To allow terrestrial trunked radio service (mobile trunking) operators, further to a modification to their corresponding titles and at their own request, to offer publicly available land mobile services in the 450-470 MHz band under the terms of the tender mentioned in the previous paragraph, notwithstanding the fulfilment, by mobile trunking operators, of determinations to be issued by ICP-ANACOM within the scope of the current procedures.
