ECC decision 06/04
ECC has decided to allow UWB activity on the high band (6 GHz -> 8.5 GHz) with dBm/MHz power lever
No particular restriction (either DAA or LDC)
ECC is still considering whether or not to adopt a separate Decision for the low band
Clearly, the upper band is the long term band for UWB operation.

ECC decision 06/04
Other restrictions
PRF should be at least 1 MHz
No fixed outdoor installation
The Decision should now to be implemented bye CEPT countries member.
Can take some time (up to one years)
4 countries have expressed concerns with this decision
EC will probably play a role also

7. ECC decision 06/04 Bandplan worldwide compliance :
August 19
ECC decision 06/04
Bandplan worldwide compliance :
4 500 MHz wide channels (5, 6, 8 and 9) are usable in Europe
Channel 7 will require additional filtering
Common band with Japan is not so "ultra-wide" : 7,25 -> 8.5 GHz
Only two channels (8 and 9)
But the mandatory channel is allowed WW

Lower band
No agreement within the ECC on :
Needed mitigation techniques
Opportunity of a time limited access to the low band (until 2010 ? 2012 ? Or not at all)
Feasibility of an efficient DAA
Efficiency of the protection offered by LDC
ECC TG3 meeting is on going this week…
