scope:

The present document specifies the technical requirements to be met by terminal equipment capable of connecting to a public telecommunications network. These requirements apply to terminals for Phase 2 of the public land mobile radio service, operating in:

- the GSM 900 band; or

- the DCS 1 800 band; or

- both in the DCS 1 800 band and the GSM 900 MHz 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.

This standard specifies the access requirements for terminals as stated above implementing the GSM standard.

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].

This standard covers the essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 98/13/EC [1] Articles 5d, 5e, 5f. Non access related aspects of speech telephony, where Article 5g has been applied, are covered by EN 301 420.

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

In this standard, there are no Electromagentic, Compatibiltiy technical requirements in terms of the Terminal Directive 98/13/eec [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.

Terminal equipment may be subject to additional requirements in other Common Technical Regulations (CTR) or Harmonized standards depending on the equipment functionality.

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.

Some requirements only apply to specific types of mobile station (e.g. data tests only apply to mobile stations with a data facility, tests that only apply to GSM900 or only to DCS1 800 or to both). The following standard indicates the specific test which should be carried out for each mobile station type.

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.
