ANNEXES  
 
to the  
Commission Implementing Decision  
on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 945 -6 425 MHz frequency band for the 
implementation of wireless access systems including radio local area networks 
(WAS/RLANs)    
EN  EN ANNEX  
Harmonised technical conditions for WAS/RLANs in the 5  945-6 425 MHz frequency 
band  
 
Table 1: Low power indoor (‘LPI’) WAS/RLAN s devices  
Parameter  Technical conditions  
Permissible operation  Restricted to indoor use , including in trains with 
metal -coated windows (note 1) and aircraft.  
Outdoor use , including in road vehicles , is not 
permitted.  
Category of device  An LPI access point or bridge  that is  supplied 
with power from a wired connection  has an 
integrated antenna and is not battery powered.  
An LPI client device that is connected to an LPI 
access point or another LPI client device and may 
or may not be battery po wered.  
Frequency band  5 945-6 425 MHz  
Maximum mean equivalent 
isotropically radiated power 
(‘e.i.r.p.’) for in -band emissions 
(note 2)  23 dBm  
Maximum mean e.i.r.p. density for 
in-band emissions (note 2)  10 dBm/MHz  
Maximum mean e.i.r.p. density for 
out-of-band emissions below                
5 935 MHz (note 2)  -22 dBm/MHz  
Note 1:     Or similar structures made of material with comparable attenuation characteristics.  
Note 2:     The mean e.i.r.p. refers to the e.i.r.p. during the  transmission burst which corresponds to the highest power, if power control 
is implemented.  
 
Techniques to access spectrum and mitigate interference that provide an appropriate level of 
performance to comply with the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU  of the 
European Parliament and of the Council1 shall be used. Where  relevant techni ques are 
described in harmonised standards or parts thereof the references of which have been 
published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Directive 
                                                           
1 Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the 
harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio 
equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC (OJ L 153, 22.5.20 14, p. 62.) . 
  
EN  EN 2014/53/EU, performance at least equi valent to the performance level associated with those 
techniques shall be ensured.  
 
 
Table 2: Very Low Power (VLP) WAS/RLAN devices  
Parameter  Technic al conditions  
Permissible operation  Indoors and outdoors.  
Use on drones is not permitted . 
Category of device  The VLP device is a portable device.  
Frequency band  5 945-6 425 MHz  
Maximum mean e.i.r.p. for                           
in-band emissions (note  1) 14 dBm  
Maximum mean e.i.r.p. density 
for in -band emissions (note 1)  1 dBm/MHz  
Narrowband usage maximum 
mean e.i.r.p. density for in -band 
emissions (note 1) (note 2)  10 dBm/MHz  
Maximum mean e.i.r.p. density 
for out -of-band emissions below  
5 935 MHz  (note 1)  - 45 dBm/MHz until  31 December  2024  (note 3)  
 
Note 1: The mean e.i.r.p. refers to the e.i.r.p. during the transmission burst which corresponds to the highest power, if power contr ol is 
implemented.  
Note 2: Narrowband (NB) devices are devices th at operate in channel bandwidths below 20  MHz. NB devices also  require a frequency 
hopping mechanism based on at least 15 hop channels to operate at a value of in -band pow er spectral density (PSD) above 
1 dBm/MHz.  
Note 3: The  appropriateness of this limit shall  be subject to review by 31  December  2024. In the absence of justified evidence, a value of         
-37 dBm/MHz shall apply from 1  January  2025.  
 
 
Techniques to access spectrum and mitigate interference that provide an appropriate level of 
performance to comply with the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU shall be 
used. Where  relevant techniques are described in harmonised standards or parts thereof the 
references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union  in 
accordance with  Directive 2014/53/EU, performance at least equivalent to the performance  
level associated with those techniques shall be ensured.
