ARLA/CLUSTER: NZ - High Speed Linking in the 70-90 GHz band

NZ - High Speed Linking in the 70-90 GHz band

The New Zealand regulator the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) has
released a consultation paper seeking views on future regulatory
arrangements for high-capacity, short-haul, point-to-point linking in the
70-90 GHz band. These links are suitable for supporting high speed data
rates of up to 1 Gbit/s.

The MED say:

At these frequencies, relatively small antennas (about 30 cm) provide high
gain and very narrow beam-widths (less than 1.2º). There is thus an
opportunity to re-use frequencies many times within a given area."

Because of the relatively high degree of frequency of re-use, most spectrum
management authorities overseas that have already provided access to this
band have opted for 'light handed' licensing arrangements placing
responsibility for path planning and interference resolution on the
licensee.

In New Zealand it is expected that access to this band would provide for a
range of short-haul, point-to-point links that would complement development
of the optical fibre network.

This paper examines the regulatory regimes in place in other countries and
outlines three options for the licensing of high-capacity, short haul,
point-to-point links in New Zealand.

The discussion paper and submission details are available on the MED
website. Written submissions are invited by 4pm on 1 October 2008.

There are Amateur and Amateur Satellite allocations at 75 GHz and interest
in these frequencies is steadily growing.
