ECC Decision , ECC Report

Exemption from individual licensing for small IoT transmit-only satellite terminals for land and maritime applications transmitting in the 5850-5875 MHz band and 14.0-14.5 GHz band

SE40_46

Define the spectrum occupancy and scenarios related to market demand for such terminals considering a licence exempt regime (unknown location, no individual coordination)

Study sharing and compatibility in the C and Ku band in order to define suitable characteristics for small IoT transmit-only satellite terminals (ECC Report by WG SE), exempt small IoT satellite terminals from individual licencing in all or parts of the 5850-5875 MHz band and 14.0-14.5 GHz band (ECC Decision by WG FM)

This WI is related to satellite terminals with limited e.i.r.p., antenna with low directivity and that are not under the control of a satellite system.

Subject to favourable sharing and compatibility studies from WG SE, an ECC Decision on the exemption of small IoT transmit-only satellite terminals from individual licencing will be developed.

ECC Recommendation

Guidance related to the authorisation and/or renewal of IRIDIUM satellite network services as per ECC/DEC/(09)02 and potential relevant mechanisms to deal with non-compliance in a coordinated action of CEPT administrations

A new ECC Recommendation will be developed, on the basis of ECC Decision (09)02 on the harmonisation of the bands 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz for use by systems in the Mobile-Satellite Service, and will consider some approaches to authorisation (of Iridium) and/or its renewal, which may be of assistance to some administrations, including potential mechanisms to deal with non-compliance in a coordinated action of CEPT administrations

S: 14-02-2025
T: 30-10-2026

An ECC Recommendation providing information and guidance to administrations in their work when considering national authorisations for Iridium.

Guidance may be helpful to administrations in dealing with any instances of interference towards the radio astronomy service beyond a tolerable level.

The new ECC Recommendation, which would be based on ECC Decision (09)02 on the harmonisation of the bands 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz for use by systems in the Mobile-Satellite Service, may also consider some approaches to authorisation (of Iridium) and potential mechanisms to deal with non-compliance in a coordinated action of CEPT administrations

CEPT Report

Response to the EC Mandate on D2D-IMT

SE40_49

Taking into account the outcome of the work done in SE40_49, and the results of the work done by ECC PT1 and CPG PTC related to the preparation for AI 1.13 of WRC-27 develop CEPT Reports in response to Tasks 1 and 2 of the EC Mandate “to study feasibility of and develop least restrictive harmonised technical conditions for the use of EU-harmonised frequency bands for terrestrial wireless systems providing electronic communications services by satellite systems providing direct-to-device-IMT connectivity”.

The relevant users in the context of Task 2 are to be determined.
