Appendix 1 — Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations

Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations
Frequency (MHz) Allocation
Notes
C39A The band 5725–5825 MHz is designated for use by licence-exempt wireless local area networks and devices with established maximum power levels and based upon not interfering with, or claiming protection from, licensed services.
C39B The use of the bands 5150–5250 MHz, 5250–5350 MHz, and 5470–5725 MHz by the mobile service is in accordance with spectrum policy and technical and operational limits established for the implementation of wireless local area networks and devices.
5.446A (WRC-03) The use of the bands 5 150–5 350 MHz and 5 470-5 725 MHz by the stations in the mobile service shall be in accordance with Resolution 229 (WRC-03).
5.446B (WRC-03) In the band 5 150–5 250 MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from earth stations in the fixed-satellite service. Number 5.43A does not apply to the mobile service with respect to FSS earth stations.
5.447F
(WRC-03)
In the band 5 250–5 350 MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from the radiolocation service, the Earth exploration-satellite service (active) and the space research service (active). These services shall not impose on the mobile service more stringent protection criteria, based on system characteristics and interference criteria, than those stated in Recommendations ITU-R M.1638 and ITU-R SA.1632.
5.448A (WRC-03) The Earth exploration-satellite (active) and space research (active) services in the frequency band 5 250–5 350 MHz shall not claim protection from the radiolocation service. Number 5.43A does not apply.
5.448B (WRC-03) The Earth exploration-satellite service (active) operating in the band 5 350–5 570 MHz and space research service (active) operating in the band 5 460–5 570 MHz shall not cause harmful interference to the aeronautical radionavigation service in the band 5 350–5 460 MHz, the radionavigation service in the band 5 460–5 470 MHz and the maritime radionavigation service in the band 5 470–5 570 MHz.
5.448C (WRC-03) The space research service (active) operating in the band 5 350–5 460 MHz shall not cause harmful interference to nor claim protection from other services to which this band is allocated.
5.448D (WRC-03) In the frequency band 5 350–5 470 MHz, stations in the radiolocation service shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, radar systems in the aeronautical radionavigation service operating in accordance with No. 5.449.
5.450A (WRC-03) In the band 5 470–5 725 MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from radiodetermination services. Radiodetermination services shall not impose on the mobile service more stringent protection criteria, based on system characteristics and interference criteria, than those stated in Recommendation ITU-R M.1638.
5.450B (WRC-03) In the frequency band 5 470–5 650 MHz, stations in the radiolocation service, except ground-based radars used for meteorological purposes in the band 5 600–5 650 MHz, shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, radar systems in the maritime radionavigation service.
