14 | P a g e

The Group agreed to include Licensed Spectrum Access, identifying additional spectrum (WRC-15) topics also for discussion and submission by responsible group in DOSTI/TSDSI. Group shall also connect with TEC and DoT to align and ensure their prepared response is accepted, acknowledged and submitted from India and later supported by Indian Delegation participating in ITU events.

The group also suggested including concepts that may be of disruptive nature, and not merely restrict it-self by extending the scope of current IMT-Adv technologies to cover possible new modulation techniques, cloud-radio, coexistence of multiple technologies in the same spectrum band, etc.

The inputs to WP5D may be looked as a place holders in the current document of WP5D, after looking at available ideas, it may be forwarded to other WGs under it and/or other WPs, SGs, etc.

Status Update on formation of TSDSI

Seminar had participation of senior industry and Government including from the defense sector. With Technology presentation by DECT Forum, following are the important points discussed during the seminar.

DECT as a technology for its rollout in India is well supported by all stakeholder.

India could capitalize on device manufacturing if DECT in the band 1880-1900 is opened at the earliest (China is trying to open this band as well for DECT, Japan has already accepted and its 75% market share hence economies of scale exist)

Dual Mode (GSM-DECT) handsets are already available hence big synergy indoor

India’s Fiber connectivity project of connecting India by Government will strengthen DECT rollout quickly in rural India at most affordable rates

DECT with ULE will bring lot of additional application suitable for India. It also strengthen enterprise solutions and rollouts (SOHO)

DECT is available in android hence eco-system and application rollout are quick and adaptable to India etc.

SESEI is keeping a close track of this forum and plan to include DECT as one of the topic during ETSI Seminar in March’2014.
