Introduction

Resolution 953 (WRC-07) describes short-range devices (SRDs) as radio transmitters or receivers or both that generate and use radio frequencies locally. The Resolution describes ultra-wideband technologies (UWB), radio frequency identification devices (RFID) and similar devices as short-range devices. The Resolution also recognizes that SRDs, in particular RFID, hold promise for an array of new applications that may provide benefits for users. The Resolution requests the ITU-R to study emissions from SRDs, in particular RFIDs, inside and outside the frequency bands designated in the Radio Regulations for ISM applications to ensure adequate protection of radiocommunication services.
