Category: Band Plans
A Band Plan is a regulatory instrument that defines the specific frequency channeling arrangements and technical conditions for a particular radio frequency band. Developed in alignment with the National ICT Act 2009 and international ITU-R standards, these plans act as a roadmap for the “zoning” of PNG’s airwaves—determining how spectrum is segmented for services like 4G/5G mobile broadband, fixed wireless, or satellite. By establishing clear rules on channel widths, guard bands, and power limits, NICTA uses band plans to prevent cross-border and domestic interference, ensuring that operators can deploy high-speed connectivity efficiently while maximizing the public and economic benefit of the country’s finite radio resources.
