5.1	This chapter covers the minimum key characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies.

5.2	The use of the band is limited to Digital PPDR (including Digital PMR) services.

5.3	Only systems using digital technologies that promote spectral efficiency will be issued with an assignment. Capacity enhancing digital techniques are being rapidly developed, and such techniques that promote efficient use of spectrum, without reducing the quality of service are encouraged.

5.4	In some cases, a radio system conforming to the requirements of this RFSAP may require modifications if harmful interference is caused to other radio stations or systems.

5.5	The allocation of spectrum and shared services within these bands are found in the National Radio Frequency Plan (NRFP) and an extract of NRFP is shown in Appendix A.

5.6	Maximum radiated power:

5.6.1

Base Station transmissions should not exceed 46 dBm per channel and a maximum of 55 dBm total ERP per base station.

5.6.2

Mobile Station transmissions should not exceed 33 dBm EIRP.

5.6.3

On a case-to-case basis, higher EIRP may be permitted if acceptable technical justification is provided.

5.6.4

Where appropriate, subscriber terminal stations should comply with the technical specification outlined under EN 300 394-1 30 and TS 100 392-2 31.

5.7	In some cases, a radio system conforming to the requirements of this RFSAP may require modifications if major interference is caused to other radio stations or systems.

5.7	In some cases, a radio system conforming to the requirements of this RFSAP may require modifications if major interference is caused to other radio stations or systems.
