20210313P RFID at UHF Regulations Regulatory status for using RFID in the EPC Gen2 (860 to 960 MHz) band of the UHF spectrum 13 March 2021 This document provides an unofficial overview of UHF allocations for passive RFID within the 860 to 960 MHz band worldwide, including: • Country name & Status: all GS1 member countries as well as major, non-member countries – currently a total of 125 countries OK Allocations in 81 countries NA Information not available for 44 countries • Frequency: allocations authorised for RFID applications, specifically within the 860 to 960 MHz band of the UHF spectrum • Power: maximum wattage allowed for RFID, calculated as ERP (Effective Radiated Power) or EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) • Reader-tag communication Technique: FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum / LBT: Listen Before Talk / ETSI: per ETSI 302 208 • Regulator: contact details of respective national regulatory body A note on the “upper band” (915-921 MHz) of CEPT REC 70 03 / ETSI EN 302 208: Pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 of 11 October 2018, interrogator transmissions of 4 W ERP are only permitted at centre frequencies 916.3 MHz, 917.5 MHz and 918.7 MHz. Note that some EU member states may implement even fewer RFID channels – or no channel at all – within the “upper band” of CEPT REC 70 03 / EN 302 208. New information added since the previous (July 2020) update: Vietnam has been updated per Circular 46/2016/TT-BTTTT to reflect 918-923 MHz at 0.5 W ERP, with a license required for higher power; additionally, 920-923 MHz at 2 W ERP is allocated exclusively for licensed intelligent traffic systems / nonstop electronic toll collection (ETC) systems. Morocco has been updated per Decision ANRT/DG/N°07/2020 to include the 865.6-865.8 MHz channel at 2 W ERP. Submission of updated allocation information and errata should be communicated to Craig Alan Repec ( [email protected] ) at GS1 Global Office.

Given the increasing commercial demand for radio spectrum, and the high monetary value associated with such use, innovative approaches to spectrum management will be necessary to ensure the scientific capabilities of current and future radio telescopes. Key aspects include development of methods, in both hardware and software, to improve mitigation and excision of radio frequency interference (RFI). In addition, innovative approaches to radio regulations and coordination between observatories and commercial

  • Revision of ST61, Nor Was the Stockholm Agreement of 1961 the First Broadcasting Frequency Plan
    SPECTRUM PLANNING Revision of ST61— Lessons learned from history J. Doeven Nozema, the Netherlands Over the next few years, the Stockholm Frequency Plan of 1961 will be revised to produce a new plan for digital broadcasting in the European Broadcasting Area. In this article, the author describes some of the lessons learned from history which must be taken into account when revising the original Stockholm Plan. Introduction In June 2001, the ITU Council decided – on the basis of a proposal from European countries – that the Stock- holm Agreement of 1961 (ST61) shall be revised in order to make a new frequency plan for digital broadcast- ing. The conference to revise ST61 will consist of two sessions. The first session is planned for May 2004; the second session is foreseen in 2005 or 2006. This conference will not be the first revision of ST61, nor was the Stockholm Agreement of 1961 the first broadcasting frequency plan. Since the start of broadcasting there has been a need for a-priori frequency plans; i.e. frequency plans that are made at a conference and are valid for a long period of time, often 15 or more years. Actually, the Stockholm Plan of 1961 has been in use for more than 40 years! In retrospect, the results achieved at some earlier broadcasting conferences 1 can be reviewed and weighted against the principal conditions required for establishing a-priori plans. The conclusions drawn from this exer- cise may then provide a valuable lesson from history as we prepare for the revision of ST61. A-priori plans Around 1920, broadcasting started in a number of countries.

    ATTACHMENT A to FCC Public Notice DA 20-1243 Recommendations presented at October 20, 2020, Meeting of the World Radiocommunication Conference Advisory Committee 1 Maritime Aeronautical and Radar Services 2 WAC-23/0009 IWG-1/007 (09.23.20) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DRAFT PRELIMINARY VIEW ON WRC-23 AI 1.6 AGENDA ITEM 1.6: to consider, in accordance with Resolution 772 (WRC-19), regulatory provisions to facilitate radiocommunications for sub-orbital vehicles; ISSUE: The United States requires a stable regulatory framework for radiocommunications for sub-orbital vehicles. BACKGROUND: Sub-orbital vehicles must operate in the same airspace as conventional aircraft while transitioning to and from space. Stations on board sub-orbital vehicles have a need for voice/data communications, navigation, surveillance, and telemetry and tracking and command (TT&C) applications to safely and effectively complete various mission requirements. The current regulatory provisions and procedures for terrestrial and space services may or may not be adequate for international use of relevant frequency assignments by stations on board sub-orbital vehicles. Resolution 772 (WRC-19) calls for studying spectrum needs and appropriate modifications to the Radio Regulations to accommodate sub-orbital vehicle radiocommunications requirements, excluding any new allocations or changes to the existing allocations in Article 51. There are several U.S. Commercial Space Transportation industry and government initiatives that could benefit from modification of the Radio Regulations as a result of these technical, operational, and regulatory studies. U.S. VIEW: To pursue studies called for by Resolution 772 (WRC-19) as a basis for possible new Radio Regulations to support the growing radiocommunications needs of sub-orbital vehicles.

Glossary 65 Improving spectrum access for Wi-Fi 1. Overview Spectrum provides the radio waves that support wireless services used by people and businesses every day, including Wi-Fi. We are reviewing our existing regulations for spectrum for unlicensed use to meet future demand, address existing problems of slow speeds and congestion, and enable new, innovative applications. People and businesses in the UK are increasingly using Wi-Fi to support everyday activities and new applications are driving demand for faster and more reliable Wi-Fi. To meet this growing demand, we are proposing to increase the amount of spectrum available for Wi-Fi and other related wireless technologies, and to remove certain technical conditions that currently apply. What we are proposing – in brief We are proposing the following measures to improve the Wi-Fi experience for people and businesses: • Make the lower 6 GHz band (5925-6425 MHz) available for Wi-Fi.

  • Spacex Non-Geostationary Satellite System
    SPACEX NON-GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE SYSTEM ATTACHMENT A TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO SUPPLEMENT SCHEDULE S A.1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE This attachment contains the information required under Part 25 of the Commission’s rules that cannot be fully captured by the associated Schedule S. A.2 OVERALL DESCRIPTION The SpaceX non-geostationary orbit (“NGSO”) satellite system (the “SpaceX System”) consists of a constellation of 4,425 satellites (plus in-orbit spares)1 operating in 83 orbital planes (at altitudes ranging from 1,110 km to 1,325 km), as well as associated ground control facilities, gateway earth stations and end user earth stations. The overall constellation will be configured as follows: SPACEX SYSTEM CONSTELLATION Parameter Initial Final Deployment Deployment (2,825 satellites) (1,600 satellites) Orbital Planes 32 32 8 5 6 Satellites per Plane 50 50 50 75 75 Altitude 1,150 km 1,110 km 1,130 km 1,275 km 1,325 km Inclination 53º 53.8º 74º 81º 70º This constellation will enable SpaceX to provide full and continuous global coverage, utilizing a minimum elevation angle of 40 degrees. 1 SpaceX will provision to launch up to two extra spacecraft per plane to replenish the constellation in the event of on-orbit failures. If a case arises wherein a spare is not immediately needed, it will remain dormant in the same orbit and will perform station-keeping and debris avoidance maneuvers along with the rest of the active constellation. Because these spare satellites will not operate their communications payloads, and the TT&C facilities communicate in turn with a fixed number of satellites at all times, the addition of spare satellites will not affect the interference analyses for TT&C operations presented in this application.
