Before LP0002 revision completed, Wi-Fi 6e application can submit EN 303 687 V.1.1.1 report as an alternative proof. The application procedure is as below:

1.     If the product has RF functions other than Wi-Fi 6e, you can submit to RCB for Type Approval Certificate of rest RF functions (without Wi-Fi 6e) first.

2.     Based on the obtained Type Approval Certificate, you can apply to add Wi-Fi 6e functionality. The addition will be subject to NCC review after the original RCB pre-evaluation.

Note:

1.     Procedure 2 is only applicable for enabling Wi-Fi 6e functionality through software/firmware.

The NCC’s application frequency ranges are as follows:

2400 MHz to 2483.5 MHz

5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz

5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz

5.470 GHz to 5.725 GHz

5.725 GHz to 5.85 GHz

5.945 GHz to 6.425 GHz

Note: for WiFi 7 using 2.4GHz or 5GHz can submit to RCB for reviewing; for WiFi 7 using 5.945-6.425GHz, still need to submit to NCC review after RCB pre-evaluation.

In this regard, this is to inform that the interim arrangement for release of imported consignments of Producers of notified EEE items (106 EEEs items) has been extended till 15-09-2023.

A public debate on the regulation of the 5G network will begin in the following days, and after that, the competition for the allocation of frequencies will be launched.

1.         Public Consultation on the Draft Regulations on Radio Equipment – The consultation may be accessed RATEL web-site and it will be open for comments until October 5, 2023.

2.         Public Consultation on the Draft Regulations on Interoperability Requirements for Car Radio Receivers and Consumer Digital Television Equipment – The consultation may be accessed RATEL web-site and it will be open for comments until October 5, 2023.

New Testing Standard for LPR and TLPR: ENACOM-Q2-64.02 V22.1 (base on ETSI TS 302 729 & TS 302 372). ENACOM allows the Homologation by a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) without local testing, until at least one local laboratory is duly authorized to carry out ENACOM-Q2-64.02 V22.1 test.

The IMDA TS SRD Issue 1 Revision 3, Sep 2023 has replaced the IMDA TS SRD Issue 1 Revision 2, Aug 2021 and came into effect from 1st September 2023.

Some notable changes in the latest Technical Specification are as follows:

1.         Addition of the 5945 – 6425 GHz frequency range for RLAN.

2.         Amendment of the maximum field strength for 13.553-13.567 MHz from 94 dBμV/m @ 10m to maximum RF output power of 10mW (e.r.p.).

3.         For RFID, Non-LPWAN end devices, LPWAN network access points, LPWAN end devices and non-specific SRDs, 917 – 925 MHz may be used. For RFID, note that 917 – 925 MHz may only be used up to 500mW ERP power. It remains the case that for RFID applications up to 2W ERP power, only 920 – 925 MHz is permitted.

4.         Amendment of the access conditions for 5150 – 5250 MHz, to ‘not employ TPC and DFS’, versus ‘need not employ DFS’ previously.

5.         Amendment of the maximum permitted power for 76 – 77 GHz radar equipment for fixed infrastructure TTT and ground based vehicle applications to ‘≤ 55 dBm peak (e.i.r.p.), ≤ 23.5 dBm average (e.i.r.p.) for pulse radar’

This Circular provides clarity on testing and certification requirements for AC adaptors which can deliver more than 100W of power, for those undergoing testing under different editions of IEC 62368-1. It outlines two specific requirements (A and B) for AC adaptors tested under different editions of IEC 62368-1 and offers multiple methods to fulfil Clause 6.6. of IEC 62368-1.

All applicable AC adaptors registered prior to this circular shall comply with requirements specified in part A or B during their CoC renewal.

With the new Act, from April 14, 2024, the Act N°5159 will become mandatory enforced, meanwhile, the actual Act N°3481 will be revoked.

In this version, some of the main changes made include the following:

1.         Updated condition and power changes for Short Range Devices:

(1) Updated condition from 5150 MHz – 5250 MHz = 200mW EIRP (For outdoor use only) to 5150 MHz – 5250 MHz = 200mW EIRP (For indoor and outdoor use only).

(2) For devices with frequency ranges of 5150 MHz – 5250 MHz and 5250 MHz – 5350 MHz (indoor use only), the maximum power permitted is 1W EIRP.

(3) Increased maximum power from 5925 MHz – 6425 MHz = 200 mW EIRP (For indoor use only) to 5925 MHz – 6425 MHz = 250 mW EIRP (For indoor use only).

(4) The Radiated PSD (Power Spectral Density) limits for indoor devices operating within the 5925 MHz – 6425 MHz frequency band has been updated from 10mW/MHz to 12.5 mW/MHz.

2.         Removal of frequency ranges of 477.0125 MHz – 477.4875 MHz and 477.5250 MHz – 477.9875 MHz for Personal Radio Service (PRS) device.

3.         Updated frequency ranges for Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) Earth Station, with frequency ranges from:

Phase 2: will begin on April 1, 2026, and will include laptop computers.

The purpose of this document is to gather stakeholder feedback on the new licensing regime which CST is referring to as light licensing in addition to the Light Licensing Regulations in the 4 GHz band for private networks.                                                                                                                                                                                          CST open Public Consultations Subject Space Data Regulations and Space Data Platform RFA. CST invites the public to submit their input on the “Space Radiocommunication Services Outlook”, which aims to enable space radio services and study the key trends and needs of manufacturers, operators, and users. Moreover, it aims to ensure optimal utilization of spectrum and meet the requirements of innovative space technologies.
