scope:

The present document describes the technical characteristics and applications specific radio spectrum requirements for SRD equipment in the industrial environment using technologies different from ultra-wide band, which may require a change of the present frequency designation/utilization within the EU or CEPT.

Non-critical wireless links for industrial applications could use existing spectrum regulation and existing ETSI standards, including the 2,4 GHz up to 2,4835 GHz band, however new frequencies (outside the 2,4 GHz band) need to be identified for the critical wireless links of industrial applications. The present document includes the necessary information to support the co-operation between ETSI and the ECC including:

• Market information (see clause 5).

• Technical information including expected sharing and compatibility issues (see clause 6).

• Regulatory issues (see clauses 7 and 8).

NOTE: The 2,4 GHz band is not considered within the present document as existing regulations and standards can be used for these applications.
