Draft

(Version 3.0)

1. Foreword

1.1 The Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 99/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) was implemented in the United Kingdom (UK) on the 8 April 2000 by The Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Regulations, Statutory Instrument (SI) 730 of 13 March 2000. In accordance with Articles 4.1 and 7.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC, this document contains the requirements for the licensing and use of terrestrial point-to-point Broadband Fixed Wireless Access in the specified frequency bands.

1.2 Nothing in this UK Radio Interface Requirement shall preclude the need for equipment and antennas to comply with the requirements of Directive 1999/5/EC.

1.3 It is required by the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 that no radio equipment is installed or used in the UK, except under the authority of a licence granted by or otherwise exempted by regulations made by the Secretary of State. It is a condition of such a licence or exemption regulations as appropriate that the equipment must meet the minimum requirements specified in this document for the stated equipment types and for the stated frequency bands.

1.4 The requirements given in the main body of this UK Radio Interface Requirement will apply to the licensing of terrestrial point-to-point Broadband Fixed Wireless Access radio systems in the 28 GHz band.

1.5 This UK Radio Interface Requirement will be revised as necessary to follow current technology developments for reasons related to the effective and appropriate use of the spectrum in particular maximising spectrum utilisation.

1.6 The RA has publicly consulted with manufacturers and operators on all aspects of this UK Radio Interface Requirement, including any assumptions made for the criteria and parameter values necessary to facilitate inter-operator coexistence as detailed in RA [XXX]. All UK Radio Interface Requirements notified under Directive 98/34/EC will be published and will be made available free of charge from the RA Information and Library Service and/or the RA web-site. The addresses for both the Library and the web-site are given on the back cover of this document.

1.7 Further information on this UK Radio Interface Requirement can be obtained from the technical enquiry contact given on the back of this document.
