Morocco is preparing for the 5G revolution. In this sense, a new National Frequency Plan (PNF) has been adopted.
Morocco is making the 5G revolution a priority. It has adopted a new National Frequency Plan (PNF) which repeals and replaces the one of March 15, 2018, reports Les Inspirations Éco. This plan is based on the relevant decisions contained in the final acts of the last World Radiocommunication Conference in 2019 (WRC-19), it is clarified. The main changes relate to the identification of additional frequency bands for international mobile telecommunications, in particular, future 5G networks, it is noted.
What about the progress of the new plan? These include, among others, the establishment of conditions and regulations for the operation of earth stations in motion, in order to ensure connectivity on board planes, ships, and trains; the introduction of nanosatellites to promote innovation and research; the implementation of technical and regulatory measures for the introduction of a new satellite system in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) or the identification of additional frequency bands for systems placed on high-altitude platforms, but also to facilitate telecommunications in rural and remote areas, by providing broadband access.
Current and potential spectrum users will gain visibility thanks to this new plan. They will also have the possibility of making their choices in terms of frequency bands to be used, the new PNF 2021 being a reference document that specifies, for each band, the corresponding radiocommunications services authorized at the national level.
