Add Frequency Plan for Morocco

[ymgupta]

Summary

We have a request from a user to add the Frequency plan for Morocco. As per LoraWAN Regional Parameters 1.0.3, the Band/channels that can be used in Morocco are 867.6 - 869 MHz (EU863-870).

Some of the additional channels of EU_863_870 in TTS falls outside the permitted spectrum in Morocco. So, the user can't use the EU868 variant available in TTS for Morocco as per the regulation.

Here is the regional regulation document provided by the user: https://www.anrt.ma/sites/default/files/decision_a2fp_-vf-_mod_07.05.2021.pdf

Here is the English translation of the document (Tool used: Google Translate): decisiona2fp-vf-_mod_07.05.2021_Translated.pdf

Here is an update:

The RP2-1.0.3 specification doesn't seem to be updated the allowed frequencies in Morocco according to the latest regulations. The latest Moroccan legislation lets LoraWAN use frequencies between 868 and 870MHz. Looking at the EU868 regional parameters, the 3 mandatory channels (868.10MHz, 868.30MHz, and 868.50MHz) are within the 868-869 segment allocated to Morocco. Refer to the below screenshot.

If defining the 8 channel frequency plan for Morocco takes time, please consider adding a frequency plan with only default channels in the EU so that users can start testing.
