1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) covers the general attachment requirements for terminal
equipment for the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) common interface.
This TBR contains the procedures and requirements for the type examination of DECT equipment.
DECT equipment capable of being physically attached to the public network also needs to meet the
appropriate attachment requirements. Speech attachment requirements are covered in TBR 10 (see
annex A).
This TBR is based on the DECT Common Interface (CI) given in ETS 300 175 parts 1 to 8 [1] to [8].
Annex J of this TBR contains changes to text in ETS 300 175-2 [2] and should therefore be read in
conjunction with this TBR. ETS 300 175-2 [2] will be amended in due course to reflect these changes,
following the normal ETSI amendment procedure.
This TBR specifies the technical characteristics to be provided by terminal equipment which is capable of
connection to a public telecommunications network and which uses DECT cordless communications for
network access. The cordless transmissions for such terminal equipment operate within the frequency
band 1 880 - 1 900 MHz.
The objective of this TBR is to ensure that no disturbance occurs to the public network, and to ensure
interworking between network and terminal so that calls can be routed successfully through the network,
but without any guarantee of terminal to terminal operation.
The requirements in this TBR applies together with the attachment requirements for the appropriate public
network (see note) and the requirements of any other relevant TBR. It does not add to or reduce the
attachment requirements unless there is a particular effect on the network which is unique to DECT.
NOTE: TBR for basic Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), TBR for primary rate ISDN,
or national regulations (implementing ETS 300 001) for Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN). Interconnection of a DECT terminal to a GSM network is still under
study; in due course, the scope statement may need amending to reflect this point.
A DECT terminal equipment comprises two elements, referred to as a Fixed Part (FP) and a Portable Part
(PP). This TBR is structured to allow type approval of the FP and PP as separate items.
Because of the need for effective use of the radio frequency spectrum, the air interface characteristics
between FP and PP are tested.
For each requirement, a test is given, including measurement methods. Requirements apply at the public
network interface of the terminal equipment, which may be stimulated to perform the tests by additional
equipment if necessary.
Terminal equipment may be subject to additional or alternative requirements in other Common Technical
Regulations (CTRs) depending on its functionality, in particular if it supports a service
...
