ETSI EN 302 217-3

ETSI EN 302 217-3 specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different simplified frequency planning (see example) rather than conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment.

This would imply that administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1]).
