ERO UWB decision amended

The European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) have issued a revised version of the UWB decision.

They have made available on their website the document titled "Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) Decision of 24 March 2006 amended 6 July 2007 at Constanta on the harmonised conditions for devices using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology in bands below 10.6 GHz"

It permits more outdoor activity by extending the use of UWB to Cars and Trains although the original 80% indoor use assumptions are still retained.

From the document "Decision ECC/DEC/(06)04 on the harmonised conditions for devices using UWB technology in bands below 10.6 GHz was first adopted by the ECC at its meeting March 2006.

It was however agreed that further technical studies would still be needed in several areas in order to finalize generic regulatory solutions for UWB operation in Europe, in particular concerning maximum mean e.i.r.p. spectral densities in the bands 2.7 - 3.8 GHz and 8.5 – 9 GHz, Detect And Avoid (DAA) and Low Duty Cycle (LDC) mitigation techniques and UWB installations in road and rail vehicles."
