Re: [802SEC] +++ Second EC review +++ a draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission to Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority

Dear George,

Thanks for your review and comments.

Regarding the word "essential requirements of article 3.2"
a)  For ETSI EN 302 065-2, the title is "Short Range Devices (SRD) using Ultra Wide Band technology (UWB); Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU;
Part 2: Requirements for UWB location tracking"
b)  For ETSI EN 300 500-2, the title is "Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Short Range Devices (SRD) using Ultra WideBand (UWB) technology; Location Tracking equipment operating in the frequency range from 6 GHz to 8,5 GHz; Part 2: Harmonized EN covering essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive"

Article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU is:  "Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference."
Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive is "In addition, radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference."

The R&TTE Directive was sunsetted in 2016.  With the publication of the Directive 2014/53/EU, the R&TTE still retained its transitional validity.  Thus, up to and including June 12, 2017, products could be placed on the market in accordance with the provisions of the R&TTE Directive. However, the directive was officially repealed on June 13, 2016, the date by which member countries were required to have transposed the RED directive into national legislation.  That may be the reason that the status of ETSI EN 300 500 said it is published not withdrawn.

Hope it helps!

Regards,
Edward

Edward – thank you for the opportunity to review.  It appears our one comment is on the reference to ETSI EN 302 500-1 being no longer necessary, because it has been incorporated into ETSI EN 302 065-2. When I check ETSI EN 302 500-1, version 1.2.1 (2008-06) lists as status of “published” https://www.etsi.org/standards#page=1&search=ETSI%20EN%20302%20500-1&title=0&etsiNumber=1&content=0&version=0&_onApproval_=1&published=1&withdrawn=0&historical=0&isCurrent=1&superseded=0&startDate=1988-01-15&endDate=2024-08-30&harmonized=0&keyword=&TB=&stdType=&frequency=&mandate=&collection=&sort=1  (or current if you are looking at other sources), which surprised me.

  Further, I note that the title of ETSI EN 302 065-2 in footnote 6 uses the word “essential requirements of article 3.2” – which makes me suspicious that it may be a little different (I didn’t see that in 500-1’s title).  Since this is not OUR standard, I think we could use a little external support here.

For example, is there a reference we can site on this, or is there some specific subset of the requirements of 500-1 that TRA is concerned with that we know to be in 065-1?

Subject: [802SEC] +++ Second EC review +++ a draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission to Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority

 

Dear EC members,

I would like to request the review of the following draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission by Monday, 2 September 2024, A.O.E, before asking the EC to consider approval of the submission in its upcoming monthly teleconference call.

Recently, the Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) began a consultation on an updated UWB regulation, which asks for public opinions on the updates the administration prepared in  accordance with ECC Decision (06)04and the ETSI EN 302 065 series of standards.

A few individuals, who are active in IEEE 802.11 and 802.15, prepared a response that not only applauds the admin's decision but also proposes an item to remove an outdated reference. The submission was reviewed and approved by IEEE 802.18 on 29 August 2024 with the following voting results:  5 Yes, 0 No, 1 Abstain.

Recently, the Radio Advisory Board of Canada (RABC) began a consultation on an updated radio standards specification, RSS-248, Issue 3 “Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) Devices Operating in the 5925-7125 MHz Band, which asks for public opinions on the proposed category of very low power device and its technical requirements.

A few individuals, who are active in IEEE 802.11 and 802.18, prepared a response that not only applauds the admin's decision but also proposes a couple of items. The submission was reviewed and approved by IEEE 802.18 on 22 August 2024 with the following voting results:  10 Yes, 0 No, 3 Abstain.
