4Channelling250 MHz / 500 / 1000 MHz.19 paired channels of 250 MHz, to form paired channels up to an channel bandwidth of 1000 MHz.
Channel centre frequencies according to ECC/REC/(05)07, Figure A4.2.
5Modulation / Occupied bandwidthClass: 2 and 4L (QPSK and 16-QAM or equivalent).
ACM is allowed.
OBW: 250 / 500 / 1000 MHz.
Definition of spectral efficiency classes: refer to EN 302 217-2, clause 4.1.1.3.
Adaptive Coded Modulation (ACM) and Adaptive Bandwidth is allowed.-
OBW with Class 2 (QPSK or equivalent): 250 MHz / 500 MHz without ACM.
OBW with Class 4L (16-QAM or equivalent): 250 MHz / 500 MHz with or without ACM. 1000 MHz in particularly justified cases with ACM.
6Direction / Separation10 GHzFDD
7Transmit power / Power densityMax. 55 dBW e.i.r.p. for antenna gain of min. 55 dBi.The max. e.i.r.p. has to be reduced, if the antenna gain is lower than 55 dBi. Refer to EN 302 217-3, Annex UC.2.
The operational e.i.r.p. will be specified in the license / individual assignment.

10Additional essential requirements--
11Frequency planning assumptionsEN 302 217-2.
Nominal RX input level = - 40 dBm.
ATPC control range = min. 10 dB to max. 20 dB.
Conditions for the nominal RX input level:
- Receiver input, point A in the system block diagram (EN 302 217-1),
- RX input level tolerance: +2 to -10 dB,
- ATPC set to min. TX output power in clear sky conditions (i.e. without rain fading).
=====
ATPC power increases shall be triggered on the basis of propagation effects only. The ATPC system shall not remain at max. available power (EN 302 217-1, clause 3.1) for more than 15 consecutive minutes (ITU-R Rec. F.750).
=====
Remote Transmit Power Control (RTPC) is considered to be an optional feature.
=====
Limits of transmitter power spectral density: Refer to EN 302 217-2, clause 4.2.3.2, Figure 8.
=====
Allowed Reference Modes for ACM and Adaptive Bandwidth:
- 250 / 500 / 1000 MHz channelling with 16-QAM or equivalent modulation.
=====
Min. link distance = 100 m.
=====
Site sharing radius = 50 m

Class 3 antenna.
Minimum antenna gain = 38 dBi.
Linear (horizontal or vertical) polarization.
Antenna radiation pattern envelope (RPE) according to EN 302 217-4, Figure 39.
OFCOM may impose tighter requirements than the minimum values given in EN 302 217-4 in order to maximize the use of the scarce spectrum resources (Class 4 antenna).
