On 1 October 2024, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) launched a public consultation called "Spectrum Planning for Non-Terrestrial Networks (Version 0.1)" to develop a new spectrum plan for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) in the 2 GHz band. Spectrum Planning Essentials:

• Spectrum allocation: The plan proposes to allocate spectrum for NTN in the 2 GHz band (2005 - 2020/2185 - 2200 MHz), including 3GPP technologies such as the n256 band;
• Services enabled: The spectrum is expected to facilitate a range of mobile satellite services (MSS), including satellite phones, data terminals, telemetry, location services, and maritime security information. It is also expected to enable IoT applications, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and advanced data services;
• Licensing: A point-to-multipoint spectrum licence will be granted for the operation of an international public telecommunications network. NTN operators must enter into a prior agreement with the local terrestrial network operator.

On April 11, 2024, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) issued an announcement updating the list of devices and technical requirements for 5925-6425MHz in the form of a revised device category. These devices can be divided into two categories, and the requirements are as follows:

• Class 1 device: End-user or CPE device with a maximum output power of 24 dBm
• Class 2 equipment: Base station equipment with a maximum output power of 30 dBm, currently only allowed for indoor use.

This update has already taken effect. Click this link to view the original TATT announcement.

Extended Reading: Trinidad and Tobago is located in ITU Region 2, in January 2024 the announcement has stated that the use of 6425-7125MHz will be based onWRC-23. The above resolution does not include 6425-7125MHz, and the subsequent CTTL-T will continue to pay attention to whether TATT will reserve this frequency band for IMT use.
