The use of this frequency band shall be subject to special authorisation by the administration concerned, in agreement with other administrations whose radiocommunication services might be affected. In applying this provisions shall have due regard to the latest relevant ITU-R recommendations. 5.558 : Stations in the aeronautical mobile service may be operated subject to not causing harmful interference to the inter-satellite service. 5.559 : Airbone radars in the radiolocation service may be operated subject to not causing harmful interference to the inter-satellite service.

in recommendation document issued by CEPT (T/R 22-03), CEPT considers… September 2003 in recommendation document issued by CEPT (T/R 22-03), CEPT considers… “the high-frequency re-use achievable in the oxygen-absorption band reduces the requirement for sophisticated frequency planning techniques and offers the possibility of a pan-European deregulated telecommunications environment for various low-power, low cost, short-range applications.” “there is an urgent need to identify and harmonize civil requirements in the frequency range 54-66GHz.” Millimeter wave bands are CEPT’s big concern. Especially, 54-66GHz is considered as a main priority issue. Kei Obara, Siemens

Conclusions Current millimeter wave frequency allocation is explained. September 2003 Conclusions Current millimeter wave frequency allocation is explained. Frequency is allocated for mobile in 59-66GHz. No specific recommendation or decision has been issued yet in this mobile frequency band. Current discussion is limited to 61.0-61.5GHz non specific SRD. CEPT thinks it is necessary to harmonize civil requirement in 54-66GHz. Active discussion in IEEE802 will accelerate European activities. Kei Obara, Siemens
