  6. Description of content :  
Purpose  
The purpose of the notified Technical Provision is to establish the technical specifications 
for products for wireless -access radiocommunications systems in local area radio 
networks and/or radiocommunications equipment that uses the digital modulation 
technique and operates in any bands class ed as "free spectrum" (5150 MHz -5250 MHz, 
5250 MHz -5350 MHz, 5470 MHz -5600 MHz, 5650 MHz -5725 MHz, 5725 MHz -5850 MHz 
and 5925 MHz -6425 M Hz). It also establishes test methods to verify compliance with 
these specifications and the specific conformity assessm ent procedure.  
Scope  
The notified Technical Provision is applicable to all products for wireless -access 
radiocommunications systems in local area radio networks that operate in any bands 
classed as "free spectrum" (5150 MHz -5250 MHz, 5250 MHz -5350 MHz, 5470 MHz -5600 
MHz, 5650 MHz -5725 MHz, 5725 MHz -5850 MHz and 5925 MHz -6425 MHz).  
In the specific case of the band 5725 MHz -5850 MHz, the notified Technical Provision is 
also applicable to all radiocommunications products that use the digital modulation 
technique and to products that are hybrid in nature, using both the digital modulation 
technique and frequency hopping . In this case, the requirements are applicable only to 
the digital modulation part with frequency hopping disabled . Accordingly, the frequenc y 
hopping part should be assessed pursuant to Technical Provision IFT -008-2015 "Spread -
spectrum radiocommunications systems . Frequency hopping and digital modulation 
radiocommunications equipment operating in the bands 902 -928 MHz, 2400 -2483.5 MHz 
and 5725 -5850 M Hz. Specifications, limits and test methods" and the provisions 
amending or replacing it.  
The Federal Telecommunications Institute will be tasked with interpreting the notified 
Technical Provision and handling and resolving cases that are not provided for in the text.
