DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS DMO ECC: ETSI: ERP: GCC Telecoms Bureau: ictqatar: Direct Mode Operation European Communication Commission is an executive body of the European Union responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the Union's treaties and day-to-day running of the EU European Telecommunications Standards Institute is an independent, non-profit, standardization organization in the telecommunications industry (equipment makers and network operators) in Europe, with worldwide projection. Effective Radiated Power with respect to the half wave dipole antenna. A telecommunications Bureau, which conducts the coordination of spectrum assignments between neighbouring GCC countries and engages in the process of resolving cross-border interference cases is the regulator in Qatar established under Amiri decree Law No. 36 for 2004 and as further defined in Amiri decree Law No. 34 of 2006. ITU-R: International Telecommunication Union - Radio Communications Bureau is a part of ITU which involves in the global management of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits PMR PABX PBX Technical schedule (1): Technical schedule (2): Private Mobile Radio Private Automated Branch Exchange Private Branch Exchange The part of the radio Spectrum license where the technical conditions for using the radio frequencies are defined. The part of the radio spectrum license, through which parameters relating to station/link are provided to ictqatar 10 working days prior to deployment of the station/link for area-based or light license categories. Guidelines for Private Mobile Radio Frequency Licences 1

Private mobile radio (PMR) systems are generally used to provide communication facilities for closed user groups and support specific features such as group call and push-to-talk. Many PMR systems allow DMO (Direct Mode Operation) in which terminals can communicate with one another directly when they are out of the coverage area of a network. PMR systems are designed for short call holding times as this enables a large number of users to be accommodated within a particular frequency allocation. It is not permitted for PMR systems to support radio to telephony calls through connection, for example, with the licensee s business PABX (Private Automated Branch Exchange) or PBX (Private Branch Exchange). PMR licenses are issued for the following classifications, which are described in subsequent sections of the Guidelines: a) PMR - Frequency Assigned i. Network ii. Area b) PMR - Band Assigned Annex A to these guidelines provides the templates of the licenses alongwith the specific terms and conditions and technical schedule(s). Annex B to these guidelines provides the application processing procedure. Annex C to these guidelines provides application form to be used for license applications, modifications, renewals or cancellations. The application form describes the information and any documents that need to be provided for the application to be processed. 1. SUMMARY OF THE LICENSEE S RESPONSIBILITIES Individual users do not require any certification but licensees have to ensure that the radio equipment is operated by authorised persons only and the users are aware of the conditions of use. Unauthorised persons must be prevented from obtaining access to the equipment. The communications are restricted to business use and the equipment has to be used on the specified frequencies. Additionally licensees are responsible to ensure that: a) equipment is deployed and operated within the terms of the license. b) any change of location or change of technical parameter is notified to and agreed with ictqatar prior to implementation. c) equipment is properly maintained in order that system continues to meet the parameter limits defined in the terms and conditions and the technical schedules. d) up to date records of the equipment, configuration and technical parameters are maintained. These shall be made available to ictqatar for inspection on request. e) the license is renewed in a timely manner. Please see Annex A for detailed terms and conditions. Guidelines for Private Mobile Radio Frequency Licences 2

2. PMR FREQUENCY ASSIGNED LICENSEL This section provides information on the licensing considerations for the issuing of PMR Frequency assigned licenses which are available in two options: a) Frequency Assigned Network: This is a flexible license that authorises the use of a wide variety of different types of equipment, analogue or digital PMR, paging and data systems etc. The license allows the deployment of a single base station along with one or more handheld or mobile stations. Frequencies are assigned by ictqatar on a first-come first-served basis and are not re-usable. b) Frequency Assigned Area: This license is available to those applicants who require to deploy a number of base stations / repeaters over a considerably large geographic area using re-usable list of frequencies. ictqatar will issue a license provided that spectrum is available within the geographical area requested. The licensee is free to deploy radio equipment anywhere within the licensed geographical area provided they meet the applicable license conditions and only use / re-use those frequencies specifically identified in the license. 2.1 Eligibility criteria Eligible persons who may apply for PMR Frequency Assigned licenses are: a) Organisations registered in Qatar which may require a PMR license to fulfil their internal communication needs b) Government ministries and government agencies for their internal communication. Each application is considered on its merits and requirements, e.g. security, safety, quality of service and the area of coverage etc. The license fee structure for the categories of license may also influence the applicant s choice of the licensing option. 2.2 Technical details For PMR Frequency Assigned Network license, the frequency/ies alongwith the technical paramters such as power and bandwidth are specified on the associated technical schedule (1) of the license. In addition to the onsite monitoring of The assessment of the field strength values to determine how often the spectrum can be reused will be done using: a) methods and criteria described in ITU-R Recommendations P.1546 1 & P.1812-1 2 b) onsite monitoring In the case of PMR Frequency assigned Area licenses the licensees need to carefully plan their deployments as there may be potential for the interference into and from licensees operating in adjacent channels and adjacent areas. Whilst licensees can use up to the maximum ERP for their base stations specified in the technical schedule (1), they should also use good site engineering techniques to ensure adequate separation distances to minimise the risk of interference. Area assigned licensees are required to provide ictqatar the details of every station such as frequency and technical parameters as per the format provided in the technical schedule (2) at least 10 working days prior to its establishment. 1 Method for point-to-area predictions for terrestrial services in the frequency range 30 MHz to 3 000 MHz, ITU-R P.1546 2 A path-specific propagation prediction method for point-to-area terrestrial services in the VHF and UHF bands, ITU-R P.1812-1 Guidelines for Private Mobile Radio Frequency Licences 3

The following frequency bands and technical parameters and standards are currently available for both options of the PMR frequency assigned licenses, however, further bands may be included in future subject to availability: Table 1. 1. PMR - Frequency Assigned technical details Frequency bands Standards, references etc. Maximum transmitter power VHF 40 MHz 30-33.7MHz 33.7-37 MHz 37-40 MHz 40-47 MHz 150 MHz 146-153 MHz 160 MHz 156-165 MHz UHF 360-380 MHz 410-430 MHz 450-470 MHz As required for Type Approval in Qatar, for example standards include: ETSI EN 300 296-2, EN 301 166-2, EN 300 086-2, EN 300 113-2, EN 300 390-2 The maximum ERP for base stations is 50Watts for 25 khz channel bandwidths, 25 Watts for 12.5 khz channel bandwidths and 12.5 Watts for 6.25 khz channel bandwidths. The maximum ERP for mobile stations is 15 Watts for any channel bandwidth. Power spectral density The Area Assigned Licensee must operate the Radio Equipment with a power spectral density of not more than -116 dbm/12.5khz at and beyond the geographical boundary(ies) specified in the license document. 3. PMR BAND ASSIGNED This section provides information on the licensing considerations for the issuing of PMR Band Assigned licenses. The PMR Band Assigned license authorises use of a block of frequencies (band) which is allocated to an organisation on a national basis for the deployment of a large PMR network. Applications are treated on a first come first served basis subject to the availability of suitable spectrum. The applicant must provide detailed and substantiated evidence in support of the amount of spectrum requested and the technical parameters of the planned system. This license also does not allow the provision of telecommunication services to general public unless a policy decision is made to open up the sector and an appropriate individual license in addition to the spectrum license is issued for carrying out such an activity. In circumstances where a Band Assigned licensee is operating on channels adjacent to other licensees in the same geographical area they shall carefully plan their deployments and use good site engineering techniques such as those provided in ETSI ETR 053, and / or ensure adequate separation distances to minimise the risk of interference. It must be clear that the spectrum licenses are issued to support the internal communications of large organisations including backhaul communication. The provision of public telecommunication services directly to end users is prohibited unless and until an individual or a class license is issued for the same. Economics and Licensing Department (Regulatory Authority) of ictqatar may be consulted for further details in this regard. 3.1 Eligibility criteria Eligible persons who may apply for a PMR Band Assigned license are: Guidelines for Private Mobile Radio Frequency Licences 4

a) Organisations registered in Qatar which may require a PMR license to fulfil their internal communication needs b) Government ministries and government agencies for their internal communication. Each application is considered on its merits and requirements, e.g. security, safety, quality of service, capacity etc. The applicant is required to: a) to demonstrate that it currently or potentially has a major demand for PMR spectrum b) to justify the need for nationwide block allocation and to demonstrate that it will efficiently use the assigned block on a national basis. c) to indicate where it is planning to deploy the network and what would be the estimated capacity requirements. d) to show that it has the competence to manage the assigned blocks / bands with due attention to efficient use of spectrum, avoidance of interference and the management of any cases of interference which may arise. The license fee structure for the categories of license may also influence the applicant s choice of the licensing option. 3.2 Technical details The licensee may deploy radio equipment in any location using the frequency band assigned by ictqatar, subject to the license terms & conditions and technical schedules, which include the parameters in the table below: Table 2. 2. PMR Band Assigned - technical details VHF UHF Frequency bands N/A 360-380 MHz 410-430 MHz 450-470 MHz Standards, references etc. Maximum transmitter power Power spectral density As required for Type Approval in Qatar, for example standards include: ETSI EN 300 296-2, EN 301 166-2, EN 300 086-2, EN 300 113-2, EN 300 390-2 The maximum ERP allowed within the band is 50 Watts The Licensee must operate the Radio Equipment with a power spectral density of not more than -116 dbm/12.5khz at and beyond the border of the State of Qatar. 4. CALL SIGN FOR FIXED STATIONS Call signs for fixed stations in the Private Mobile radio license category may be requested by the applicants/licensees. The five digit call signs are available within the range: A7A20 - A7Z99 except A7D20-A7D99 which is reserved for coast stations. 5. COORDINATION In some cases the use of radio equipment has the potential to interfere with systems being used in another country. It might therefore be necessary for ictqatar to undertake cross border coordination, through the GCC Telecoms Bureau, before a license can be issued in such cases. Guidelines for Private Mobile Radio Frequency Licences 5
