EU – Proposed Implementing Decision regarding Harmonisation of Radio Spectrum for SRDs

The European Commission has published a draft Implementing Decision that considers the harmonisation of radio spectrum for short range devices in the bands 874-876 MHz and 915-921MHz.

Highlights of the proposed allocations are listed below:

Band no. Frequency Band Category of SRD Transmit limits
1 874-874.4 MHz Non-specific short-
range devices
500 mW e.r.p.
Adaptive Power Control (APC) required, alternatively other mitigation techniques which achieve at least an equivalent level of spectrum  compatibility
2 917.4-919.4 MHz Wideband data transmission devices 25 mW e.r.p.
3 916.1-918.9 MHz Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices Interrogator transmissions at 4 W e.r.p. only permitted at the centre frequencies 916.3 MHz, 917.5 MHz, 918.7 MHz
4 917.3-918.9 MHz Non-specific short-
range devices
500 mW e.r.p.
Transmissions only permitted within the bands 917.3-917.7 MHz, 918.5-918.9 MHz Adaptive Power Control (APC) required, alternatively other mitigation techniques which achieve at least an
equivalent level of spectrum compatibility
5 917.4-919.4 MHz Non-specific short
range devices
25 mW e.r.p.
