Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); System reference document; Land Mobile Service; Additional spectrum requirements for future Public Safety and Security (PSS) wireless communication systems in the UHF frequency range (V1.1.1)
"The present document is aimed at establishing a dedicated@ harmonized European spectrum designation for PPDR mission-critical Public Safety and Emergency Communications. This proposed resource would be a harmonized spectrum across Europe allowing interoperable and permanent PPDR networks to be established in the 300 MHz to 790 MHz band (including ""Digital Dividend"" band)@ preferably in the lower parts of the band. It is proposed that such a network would cater for all narrowband@ wideband and broadband PPDR applications requiring wide area coverage. The applications will be used for voice@ voice and data or data only. For local and temporary broadband PPDR usage@ so-called 5 GHz Broadband Disaster Relief (BBDR) applications@ the current regulation may also be reviewed. Additional information is given in the following annexes: ? Annex A: Detailed market information. ? Annex B: Detailed technical information. ? Annex C: Expected sharing and compatibility issues. ? Annex D: Public Safety frequency statement from 18 countries that was provided to the WG FM Workshop on Spectrum Harmonisation for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) 11-12 March 2010 - Mainz (Germany). ? Annex E: The Swedish Presidency of the EU informed the ETSI that the Council in June 2009 approved Council Recommendations on improving radio communication between operational units in border areas and invites to start producing a European standard satisfying law-enforcement and public-safety services' operational requirements regarding high-speed data communication and roaming functionality in the medium term."
