Classification

This radiocommunication service is classified in accordance with ITU Radio Regulations (article 1) as follows:
Mobile service (article 1.24)

(R)° = abbreviation to route flights (route)
(OR)°° = abbreviation to flights others than on routs (off-route)


Frequency allocation

The allocation of radio frequencies is provided according to Article 5 of the ITU Radio Regulations (edition 2012).[2]

In order to improve harmonisation in spectrum utilisation, the majority of service-allocations stipulated in this document were incorporated in national Tables of Frequency Allocations and Utilisations which is with-in the responsibility of the appropriate national administration. The allocation might be primary, secondary, exclusive, and shared.

  • primary allocation: is indicated by writing in capital letters (see example below)
  • secondary allocation: is indicated by small letters
  • exclusive or shared utilization: is within the responsibility of administrations
