DEN/ERM-TG28-503

Elektromagnetna združljivost in zadeve v zvezi z radijskim spektrom (ERM) - Omrežne naprave kratkega dosega (SRD) - Radijska oprema, ki se uporablja v frekvenčnem območju od 870 MHz do 876 MHz z močnostnimi nivoji do največ 500 mW - 1. del: Tehnične karakteristike in preskusne metode

Za izdelavo harmoniziranega standarda je lahko pomembno tudi upoštevanje tekočega poročila 200 in poročila 189 Odbora za elektronske komunikacije za podporo omrežnih naprav kratkega dosega v frekvenčnem območju 870, –876 MHz, npr. Metropolitan Machine Mesh (M3M, npr. TR 103 055) in Smart Metering/Smart Grid (npr. TR 102 886) – TS 102 887. Upoštevano je, da bo ta oprema naprav kratkega dosega razreda 2, da se zagotovi najboljša učinkovitost spektra med zaščito osnovne storitve, ki deluje v nekaterih državah.

The present document describes test and performance requirements for licence exempt Short Range Devices (SRDs)
intending to use the frequency range 870 - 876 MHz at power levels up to 500 mW and duty cycle up to 2,5 %. The
frequency band is shared with other SRDs intended to support applications with more restrictive power levels and duty
cycles as well as ER-GSM [i.6] assigned to the frequency range 873 - 876 MHz. Less restrictive duty cycle limits may
apply to certain infrastructure SRDs (
