July 2006

3. Where we are
ETSI
TC BRAN has approved System Reference Document; Technical characteristics of multiple gigabit wireless systems in the 60 GHz range at its June 06 meeting
ERM RM expected to approve this document at the Sept 06 meeting
CEPT
Has considered the draft SRDoc from ETSI
Initiated technical compatibility study in its working group – first meeting in Sept 06

4. Maximum transmit power
Proposed Regulation

Channel spacing
Notes
A minimum
spectrum
requirement of 2500
MHz is requested to
be implemented out
of the total tuning
range of 59 GHz to
66 GHz.
40 dBm EIRP
maximum mean

27 dBm maximum
peak conducted
power No
restriction
No restriction
Measured over any
continuous period of 53
seconds
The maximum power is
for an emission bandwidth
of greater than 500 MHz.
NOTE: A license-exempt scheme is proposed to the National Regulatory Authorities for applications other than aeronautical mobile and inter-satellite communications. Users may not claim protection from interference from other users within the same spectrum for this kind of application.

6. Next Steps
Once technical compatibility study has been completed, CEPT is expected to allocate spectrum for this application through an ECC Decision or ECC Recommendation
Timescale from approximately 1 to 2 years
