The
Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) has launched a public consultation inviting stakeholders to provide
feedback on several updated technical deliverables. These updates cover a range
of essential areas including satellite communication systems, intelligent
transport systems, short-range devices, and more. The consultation aims to
improve the efficiency and safety of communication technologies and is open
until December 16, 2024.
Consultation Overview: Key
Deliverables and Deadlines
The ECC is
soliciting comments on numerous draft decisions and recommendations, with each
focusing on a specific aspect of telecommunications or radio systems. Notable
deliverables open for consultation include:
- Satellite Personal
Communication Systems (S-PCS < 1GHz): The draft revision of ERC Decision (99)06 seeks to harmonize satellite communication systems operating below 1 GHz.
- Safety-Related Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS):
The draft revision of ECC Decision (08)01 outlines technical
requirements for safety systems in the 5875-5935 MHz frequency
band, which is critical for the future of intelligent transportation.
- Short-Range Devices and
Tracking Systems:
The consultation also includes proposed updates to ERC Recommendation
70-03, covering annexes on non-specific short-range devices, tracking
and tracing systems, radio microphones, and RFID applications.
- Wireless Power Transmission
and Jammers:
The committee has drafted revisions for ECC Recommendation (25)01,
which includes emission limits for wireless power systems, and ECC
Recommendation (04)01, regarding the prohibition of jammers.
- Interference and Compatibility Studies: Reports such as ECC Report 363 and ECC Report 364 address the interference between satellite systems and radio astronomy services, as well as compatibility studies for Wireless Access Systems (WAS/RLAN).
How to Participate
The
consultation period is currently open, and stakeholders, including industry
representatives, regulatory bodies, and technical experts, are encouraged to
submit their feedback. Comments must be sent via email to PublicConsultation@eco.cept.org by the respective deadlines, which vary by document but most notably conclude
on December 16, 2024.
