The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different simplified frequency planning (see example) rather than conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment.
This would imply that administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1]).
The bands in the scope of the present document, to which these frequency assignment procedures apply, are specifically referred in annexes UA through UC where the applicable equipment requirements are reported.
