Spectrum management in Singapore
 Spectrum is limited and valuable
 IDA responsible for managing frequency spectrum in
Singapore
 Identifies usage of spectrum bands to best meet needs of end
users (e.g. Radio Spectrum Master Plan)
 In line with global and regional standards, market and technology
trends
 Ensures spectrum is efficiently allocated and utilised
 Allocation via most economically efficient methods (e.g. auction)
 Sets conditions for usage of spectrum

Spectrum management in Singapore
 IDA’s spectrum management policies support the increasing demand
for wireless broadband services
 2005 – IDA auctioned off spectrum in 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz bands for WBA
 2008 – Mobile operators allowed to deploy 3G services in 2G bands (i.e.,
900/1800 MHz)
 2010 – IDA allowed assignment of constrained frequencies in 2.5 GHz band
under non-interference and unprotected conditions
 2011 – Mobile operators allowed to deploy 4G services in 1800 MHz and 2.5
GHz bands
 2012 – Conducted public consultation on proposed auction of spectrum for
4G services
 Proposing to release up to 320 MHz of spectrum in 1800 MHz, 2.3 GHz and 2.5
GHz bands
 By 2013 – To conduct auction of spectrum for 4G services

• Total: 320 MHz for auction (280 MHz for existing players, 40 MHz for new entrant)
• Cap on winning amount to prevent excessive hoarding by any one player.
• Must use spectrum to deploy 4G services
• Technology neutral – so long as minimum speed and mobility requirements are met
• Must have nationwide 4G systems and service coverage
• After 1 year from allocation (excluding underground stations and tunnels)
• After 3 year from allocation (all underground stations and tunnels)

Digital Dividend

Digital Transmissions make more efficient use of spectrum; spectrum freed up
for WBA (commonly known as Digital Dividend)

IDA working closely with regional partners for the simulcast period and
analogue switch off between 2015 – 2020

IDA supports APT 700 MHz band plan

To make available up to 2x45 MHz of spectrum for mobile broadband services

Subject to further discussions with regional partners

Cross-border Coordination
 Cross-border coordination aims to pre-empt any mutual harmful
interference between countries
 Agreement to lay down the spectrum band plans & technical operating limits
at the border areas
 Frequency coordination with neighbouring countries:
 FACSMAB - Frequency Assignment Committee for Singapore, Malaysia and
Brunei; Monthly meeting with half-yearly Review meeting
 BCCM - Border Communication coordination Meeting between Singapore
and Indonesia; Half-yearly meeting with respective Operators participating in
discussion on Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) issues
 TCM - Trilateral Coordination Meeting between Indonesia, Malaysia and
Singapore; Half-yearly meeting

Harmonised Channeling Plan for Wireless
Broadband Service in 2.5/2.6 GHz
Back
 FACSMAB members re-planning taking into consideration of existing
services operating in the band
 Existing assignment based on 6MHz channeling plan that would not be optimized for
emerging technologies such as WiMax and LTE
Existing band plan
 Harmonised and adopting CEPT’s band plan and channeling plan for
wireless broadband services in 2./2.6Hz band
 Enabling full band sharing in common border areas
Harmonised Channeling Plan: 70MHz x 2 (FDD) & 50MHz (TDD)
