scope:

The present document provides technical requirements for cable CPE with integrated radio and non-radio interfaces in support of Harmonised Standards for the essential requirements of article 3.1b of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].

Cable equipment comprises integrated non-radio and radio network interfaces. These functions are integrated either on the same integrated electronic components on the same printed circuit board or by separate integrated components on the same printed circuit boards but housed in the same equipment enclosure. The non-radio function is the Cable RF as specified by ETSI EN 302 878-2 [1] for data communication services and by ETSI EN 300 429 [2] for video communication services. The radio function is a wireless local area network operating in the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands according to IEEE 802.11 [3].

NOTE: Cable equipment does not comprise separate radio and non-radio products that are combined in one enclosure. Where cable equipment of this type exist then the essential requirements of article 3.1b of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] apply to the equipment and the equipment requirements are as specified by ETSI draft harmonised standard ETSI EN 303 446-1 [i.5], at the time of writing it is under development ETSI TC ERM WGEMC.
