[email protected] Your 22.12.2015 No. MC- 3 2 56 16.02.2016 No. MC-356 Our 14.03.16 No. 18-5/ 15-0084-008 Coordination of new digital frequ e ncy allotments and coexist ence with IMT Dear Madam/Sir, Estonian Technical Regulatory Authority ( ETSA ) would like to thank you for representing your position . I n response to y our letters mentioned above, we would like to state the following. Many European countries are now looking to re-allocate further Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) spectrum from broadcasting to mobile use, and to make frequencies in the 700 MHz range available for mobile broadband. E TSA is planning to use the frequency band 694-790 MHz in accordance with CEPT ECC Decision (15) 01 and channel plan of it. Having analysed your letter ( 22.12.2015 No. MC-3256 ) m ost critical for implementation of mobile broadband is the frequency band 702-734 MHz . In this frequency band there are two new allotments of R ussian Federation: KINGISEPP ch.50 and PSKOV ch.53 . Recognising the wish of Russian Fe d eration to continue the use of 700 MHz band for broadcasting we propose to re-allocate those channels . The letter with a proposal for a coordination meeting has been sent separately (ref 18-1/16-0384-001 dated 01.03.2016). We have also added the remarks (see Table 1) to the A nnex 2 of GRFC letter from 22.12.2015 No . MC-3256 concerning implementation of new allotments of Russian Federation. In table there are remarks concerning need for coordination of allocations with Estonian Digital Broadcasting (R2) and Estonian other primary services ( P ) . We propose to have the negotiations regarding those remarks and also remarks to Estonian allotments to agree on possible mitigation technics at our next coordination meeting. Concerning issues of further use of analogu e TV (ATV) stations of the Russian Federation we are ready to discuss the issue. According to inform ation presented in Tallinn (15-19 of June 2015 ) Rus sian F ederation has interest in continuing analogue transmissions . Tabl e 2 consists of ATV stations in cross-border area s . For us the most problematic ATV stations TRUTNEVO , STRUGI KRASNYE and GLUBOKOE on channel 51 cannot coexist with IMT . If this information is still up to date , it is a matter of future negotiation . In addition, you are kindly requested to inform us about switch-off plan concerning existing analo g ue TV stations used in Kingisepp and Pskov regions .
