Further consultation: Supporting innovation in the 100-200 GHz range

We have published a second version of our “Supporting innovation in the 100-200 GHz range” consultation, initially published on 17 January 2020, to incorporate a number of clarifications, including on the proposed technical conditions that would apply to licensed devices used indoors. This is reflected by the following changes to the document:

Section 5

• In Section 5, we have amended paragraphs 5.2, 5.8, 5.9, 5.12 and 5.20-5.23, including Table 5.1, to clarify that EIRP limits at angles relative to the main beam in elevation and the antenna pointing restriction would apply to outdoor use only under the proposed licensing regime.

Annexes

• In paragraph A6.23, we have corrected the ITU Recommendation number to ITU-R RS.1813-1.
• In paragraph A6.29, we have clarified that lower EIRP limits at specified angles and the antenna pointing restriction would apply to outdoor use only under the proposed licence exemption regime.
• We have amended paragraphs A6.34-A6.36, including Table A6.2, to clarify that lower EIRP limits at specified angles and the antenna pointing restriction would apply to outdoor use only under the proposed licensing regime.
• In the draft IR 2030 amendments at annex 7 and draft new UK IR 2106 at annex 8, we have amended six instances of “Out of band emissions should be limited to -10 dBm/MHz” to “Out of band emissions must be limited to -10 dBm/MHz”.
• In both tables of the draft new UK IR 2106 at annex 8, we have clarified that lower EIRP limits at specified angles and the antenna pointing restriction would apply to outdoor use only under the proposed licensing regime.
• In Schedules 1 and 2 of the draft licence at annex 9, we have clarified that lower EIRP limits at specified angles and the antenna pointing restriction would apply to outdoor use only under the proposed licensing regime.
