5. Amendments to the current EC SRD Decision
Rolling yearly mandate from EC to CEPT To review EC SRD Decision
CEPT through SRD maintenance group looking to review :
MGWS allocation to have one power level (40dBm EIRP) and no fixed outdoor usage.
Power increase and extend frequencies for Generic SRD allocation
May combine into one regulation with a transmit power, EIRP and psd limits.
Will also be reflected in ECC Recommendation
