Telkom submits that the frequency band 10.025-10.145 GHz is however not listed in the referenced standard EN 300 440. further, the power level of 1 W contained in the RFSAR is not allowed under this standard, and consequently, the listed standard cannot be used for the Type Approval of the listed devices and operating equipment, therefore requests the Authority to investigate and confirm the relevant standard.
