Draft CEPT Report 088 on Frequency Band Utilization for Wireless Broadband Systems

Published

Draft CEPT Report 088 Overview

The Draft CEPT Report 088 addresses the European Commission's mandate on the shared utilization of the 3800-4200 MHz frequency band by Wireless Broadband Systems providing Local-Area Network Connectivity (WBB LMP). This document evaluates the technical feasibility of this shared usage, aligning with the Commission's directive.

Key Parameters Reviewed

Key parameters such as radiated power (e.i.r.p.), antenna specifications, and emission masks for WBB LMP systems are comprehensively reviewed. Coexistence with existing services is examined, particularly focusing on Fixed Satellite Service (FSS), Fixed Service (FS), and Radio Altimeters operating in the adjacent 4200-4400 MHz band.

Harmonized Technical Conditions

Harmonized Technical Conditions proposed include maximum power limits for low and medium power base stations of WBB LMP, aimed at safeguarding incumbent users such as satellite ground stations and terrestrial links.

Important Considerations from August 19th

Effective August 19th, careful planning, case-by-case analysis, and robust mitigation strategies are emphasized to ensure the protection of all incumbent services in this spectrum.
