On Behalf Of Vibeke Hansen ECC Plenary meeting, Helsinki, 30 June – 3 July 2015
The ECC made a number of decisions on spectrum use related to various sectors: Intelligent Transport Systems, Broadband Direct Air To Ground Communications, satellite earth stations
onboard mobile platforms, a helicopter obstacle warning application, wireless mobile communications onboard vessels, and on wireless broadband applications:
The ECC approved revisions of ECC Decision (08)01 (ITS in the band 5 875 – 5 905 MHz) and ECC Recommendation (08)01 (ITS in the band 5 855 – 5 875 MHz). The amendments include a broadening of the scope of these deliverables to include all types of ITS traffic
safety and traffic efficiency communications. As a result from additional compatibility studies with regards to improved co-existence with road tolling applications and fixed service links in the adjacent spectrum, it also takes into account modifications
to the technical conditions and the possible use of mitigation techniques. Broadband Direct Air To Ground Communications The ECC approved two new ECC Decisions (15)02 and (15)03 for Direct Air to Ground Communications in the frequency bands 1900-1920 MHz and 5855-5875 MHz respectively. With these Decisions, the ECC has provided a regulatory framework for harmonized use opportunities
in Europe for stakeholders for the respective air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity in support of the increasing demand for inflight entertainment (IFE) applications in commercial airplanes.
Earth Stations Onboard Mobile Platforms The ECC approved the new ECC Decision (15)04 on the harmonised use, free circulation and exemption from individual licensing of Land and Maritime Earth Stations On Mobile Platforms (ESOMPs) operating with non-geostationary (NGSO) Fixed-Satellite Service
(FSS) systems in the frequency range 17.3-20.2 GHz, 27.5-29.1 GHz and 29.5-30.5 GHz.
With this deliverable the ECC has addressed the growing need for broadband telecommunications service to ships, trains and other vehicles. Obstacle Detection Radars for Helicopter Use A new draft ECC Decision on the harmonised use of the frequency range 76-77 GHz for obstacle detection radars for helicopter use was approved for public consultation. The obstacle detection system is to detect and inform the flight crew of obstacles in a
protective volume around the helicopter. The operational benefit of this system is in the initial or final phases of flight, as well as during hovering phases, in which the helicopter manoeuvers in ground vicinity at low airspeeds. It is in those flight phases
in which there is an increased risk of collision with all kinds of obstacles. Wireless Mobile Communications Onboard Vessels Amendments of ECC Decision (08)08 were approved for public consultation. This is an extension of the regulatory framework for mobile services on board vessels to cover GSM in the bands 880-915/925-960
MHz and 1710-1785/1805-1880 MHz, UMTS in the band 1920-1980 / 2110-2170 MHz and LTE (5 MHz channel bandwidth only) in the bands 1710-1785/1805-1880 MHz and 2500-2570/2620-2690 MHz.
More on Wireless broadband applications. 700 MHz: The ECC agreed a roadmap, which provides a revised schedule and identifies the required tasks for the delivery of a final CEPT Report in response to the EC mandate on 700 MHz. The CEPT Report B will be developed on the basis of
ECC Decision 15 (01) on the harmonised technical conditions for Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) in the band 694-790 MHz.
2300-2400 MHz: CEPT Report 58 in response to the EC mandate on the 2.3 GHz band and dealing with technical solutions for the shared use of the 2300-2400 MHz band for wireless broadband application and Programme Making and Special Events
(PMSE) applications, was approved, together with the new Recommendation (15)04 which includes guidance for the implementation of a sharing framework between Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) and PMSE within 2300-2400 MHz. This concludes the activities
from ECC on the development of a regulatory framework for MFCN in the 2.3-2.4 GHz, including provisions on Licensed Shared Access (LSA) for the shared use of the band with incumbent applications.
2500-2690 MHz: the amended ECC Decision (05)05 on the harmonised utilisation of spectrum for MFCN operating within the band 2500-2690 MHz was approved with an extended scope which covers now the designation of the band for MFCN.
Machine-to-Machine applications: A new ECC Report on M2M applications (Machine-to- Machine) in the 733-736MHz / 788-791MHz band was approved for public consultation. This ECC Report contains compatibility studies for LTE-based and GSM-based
M2M systems with the services in adjacent bands as identified in ECC Decision (15) 01.
The ECC also decided to organise a CEPT Workshop in 2016 on M2M applications. The scope of the workshop will be broader than just M2M over public mobile networks in order to include also the various other wireless services which can serve M2M applications. Finally, the ECC made some other decisions, inter-alia the new ECC Decision (15)05 on PMR 446 combining the analogue and digital frequency ranges and repealing the older ECC Decisions on PMR446, or the amendment of the ERC Decision (99)01 on maritime communications
for the harmonised examination syllabi for the General Operator's Certificate (GOC) and the Restricted Operator's Certificate (ROC).
