a. In the draft Annexure B, the band 10.025-10.145 GHz was proposed for Low power Video Surveillance application with the prescribed standard EN 300 440.

 

b. Submissions received

Telkom submits that the frequency band 10.025-10.145 GHz is however not listed in the referenced standard EN 300 440. further, the power level of 1 W contained in the RFSAR is not allowed under this standard, and consequently, the listed standard cannot be used for the Type Approval of the listed devices and operating equipment, therefore requests the Authority to investigate and confirm the relevant standard.

 

c. The Authority’s Response

The Authority notes recommendations regarding the standard EN 300 440 and the power limit in the band 10.025-10.145 GHz, however the Authority maintained the frequency band and power limit as per previous regulation requirements of I-ETS 300 440.
