scope:

The present document specifies the technical requirements to be met by GSM terminal equipment capable of operating in the frequency bands allocated for use by private networks of the European Railways (876 - 880 MHz and 921 - 925 MHz). The present document applies to R-GSM terminals for Phase 2+ of the public land mobile radio service, operating in the European Railways R-band frequency in addition to the 900 MHz GSM band with a channel separation of 200 kHz, utilising constant envelope modulation and carrying traffic channels according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle.

The present document specifies the R-GSM terminal requirements for the European Railways version of the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM).

For each test purpose and its corresponding conformance requirement, a reference is given to the test method in EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. The requirements apply at the air interface and the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment interface for the access requirements, which may be stimulated to perform the tests by additional equipment if necessary.

The measurement uncertainty is described in EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].

The present document covers the telecommunication terminal equipment (TTE) essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 98/13/EC [1] Articles 5d, 5e, 5f.

The Terminal Directive 98/13/EC [1] Articles 5a and 5b are covered by other directives, and, therefore, not by the present document.

In the present document, there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility technical requirements in terms of the Terminal Directive 98/13/EC [1], Article 5c.

NOTE 1: Technical Requirements for EMC performance and testing of the equipment are covered by the relevant standards applicable to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, annex A.

The present document specifies the R-GSM terminals additional requirements, which will apply in addition to the Harmonised Standards covering the operation of these terminals in the frequency bands allocated for public GSM networks.

EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] constitutes the conformance test suite for GSM. The verification of the conformance requirements in the present document is based on the tests described in this reference. The set of requirements in EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] and the set of requirements in the present document need not be identical.

All the requirements in the present document are specific to mobile stations supporting R-GSM.

An active accessory is covered by the present document if it modifies the terminal performance in an aspect which affects conformance to essential requirements.

NOTE 2: Only active devices are subject to the present document. Accessories may be tested with specific terminals, and either approved for use with those terminals only, or may possibly be approved for use with a wider range of terminals, depending on the nature and effect of the accessory.

For each test, supplementary information is provided, giving a justification why this item has been selected for regulatory testing, and a reference to the relevant article of the Terminal Directive [1].

The present document is based on EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
