Non-civil Utilisation – Priority
Band reserved for non-civil utilisation. If civil utilisation is also stated with priority, the band is being used equally with civil utilisation on the basis of coordination.
Non-civil Utilisation – Subsidiarity
Non-civil stations can use the band with subsidiarity to civil ones (which use the band with priority), but must not interfere and do not have rihgt to protection against interference by civil utilisation.
Non-civil Utilisation – Not Used
Non-civil stations cannot use the band.
Civil Utilisation – Priority

Civil Utilisation – Subsidiarity
Civil stations can use the band with subsidiarity to non-civil ones (which use the band with priority), but must not interfere and do not have rihgt to protection against interference by non-civil utilisation.
Civil Utilisation – Not Used
Civil stations cannot use the band.
Note 5.516
The use of the band 17.3 – 18.1 GHz by geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) is limited to feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service. The use of the band 17.3 – 17.8 GHz in Region 2 by systems in the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) is limited to geostationary satellites. For the use of the band 17.3 – 17.8 GHz in Region 2 by feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service in the band 12.2 – 12.7 GHz, see Article 11 of RR. The use of the bands 17.3 – 18.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Regions 1 and 3 and 17.8 – 18.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 2 by non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service is subject to application of the provisions of No. 9.12 of RR for coordination with other non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service. Non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service shall not claim protection from geostationary-satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service operating in accordance with the RR, irrespective of the dates of receipt by the Radiocommunication Bureau of ITU of the complete coordination or notification information, as appropriate, for the non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service and of the complete coordination or notification information, as appropriate, for the geostationary-satellite networks, and No. 5.43A of RR does not apply in this case. Non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service in the above bands shall be operated in such a way that any unacceptable interference that may occur during their operation shall be rapidly eliminated.
Note 5.554A
The use of the bands 47.5 – 47.9 GHz, 48.2 – 48.54 GHz and 49.44 – 50.2 GHz by the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) is limited to geostationary satellites.
Note 5.555B
The power flux-density in the band 48.94 – 49.04 GHz produced by any geostationary space station in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) operating in the bands 48.2 – 48.54 GHz and 49.44 –50.2 GHz shall not exceed –151.8 dB(W/m2) in any 500 kHz band at the site of any radio astronomy station.
Note 5.552
The allocation of the spectrum for the fixed-satellite service in the bands 42.5 – 43.5 GHz and 47.2 – 50.2 GHz for Earth-to-space transmission is greater than that in the band 37.5 – 39.5 GHz for space-to-Earth transmission in order to accommodate feeder links to broadcasting satellites. Administrations are urged to take all practicable steps to reserve the band 47.2 – 49.2 GHz for feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service operating in the band 40.5 – 42.5 GHz.
