Wireless Broadband Services Data Requirements and XML Schema

Companies that operate Wireless Broadband Services in the 3650 – 3700 MHz band within Canada under a spectrum licence must provide information on their stations immediately as changes occur . Industry Canada will issue account number in the form "07-0839xxxxx" or “07-0939xxxxx” for this purpose. If you require support please contact the Department. The Department will also create your web profile in order for you to upload the stations information in an XML file (this cannot be done using on-line forms).

After you have been issued your account number, the following pages will help you get started with providing station information to Industry Canada.
