The present document specifies the technical characteristics to be provided by TErrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA)
radio and telecommunications terminal equipment, which uses the TETRA technology for Trunked Mode Operation at
the air interface to support the Voice plus Data (V+D) functionality.
The present document applies at the TETRA Voice plus Data (V+D) Air interface of the following radio and
telecommunications terminal equipment types:
1) TETRA Base Station (BS);
2) TETRA Mobile Station (MS);
3) TETRA DMO Gateway (DM-GATE);
4) TETRA TMO Repeater (TMO-REP).
It applies to terminal equipment operating within the frequency ranges, allocated to TETRA by the ERC Decisions
ERC/DEC(96)01 [17] and ERC/DEC(96)04 [18].
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
