The Circular Letter Addendum draws attention to the IMT-Advanced Web page. Of note is the Document
Report ITU-R M.2133, Requirements, Evaluation Criteria, and Submission Templates for the
Development of IMT-Advanced.
Report ITU-R M.2133 supports the process for IMT-Advanced initiated by Circular Letter 5/LCCE/2 and its
Addendums. It provides the requirements, evaluation criteria, as well as submission templates required
for a complete submission of candidate RITs and candidate SRITs for IMT-Advanced. In essence, it can
