8 Channel access and 
occupation rules According to ECC/DEC/ 
(15)04. - Within the frequency bands 27.5-29.1 GHz and 
29.5-30.0 GHz, ESOMPs shall operate only in the 
portions of these frequency bands identified for 
their use within the territory of operation. 
- ESOMPs operating in international waters (which 
may transmit within the range 27.5-29.5 GHz), shall 
ensure protection of fixed service systems in the 
CEPT. 
- ESOMPs transmitting in the band 29.5-30.0 GHz 
shall comply with the requirements in Annex 1 of 
ECC/DEC/(15)04. Seite 1 von 2 Technical interfaces regulations 
17. 03. 2016 - ESOMPs transmitting in the band 27.5-29.1 GHz 
shall comply with the requirements in Annexes 1, 2 
and 4 of ECC/DEC/(15)04. 
9 Authorisation regime Switzerland: License 
required. 
Liechtenstein: Individual 
assignment required. Switzerland: The exemption from the individual 
licence requirement only applies subject to a valid 
operator's license for the Swiss territory that 
includes the use of individual customer terminals. 
Liechtenstein: The exemption from the individual 
licensing requirement only applies subject to a valid 
operator's license for the Lichtenstein territory that 
includes the use of individual customer terminals. 
ESOMPs receiving in the band 17.7-19.7 GHz can 
not claim protection from interference from fixed 
stations operating in the same band and in 
conformity with their national regulations. 
ESOMPs receiving in the band 17.3-17.7 GHz can 
not claim protection from BSS feeder links 
operating in the same band and in conformity with 
their national regulations.
