Application-Specific Submissions6.2. Active Medical Implants |
| a. | In the draft Annexure B, the band 315-600 kHz was proposed for ULP-AIDs and Peripherals referencing CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03, and there was no reference for Medical Implants in the band 402-405 MHz. |
| b. | Submissions received |
Telkom submits that the band 315-600 kHz does not appear in REC 70-03 and appears to be a subset of the band 148.5-5000 kHz.
Telkom recommends that the reference to ERC/DEC/(01)17 be maintained in the band 402-405 MHz as the power levels and channel spacing’s are obtained from this EU decision.
| c. | The Authority’s Response |
The Authority notes the recommendation regarding the band 315-600 kHz not appearing in REC 70-03, however the Authority maintains that band 315-600 kHz is for Active Medical Implants whereas the band 148.5-5000 kHz is for Indictive Loop applications, and both applications have different prescribed performance standards.
The Authority note submission regarding the addition of the reference ERC/DEC/(01)17, however the Authority maintains that reference CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 already contains the Decision ERC/DEC/(01)17, therefore referencing CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03, means the Decision is implied.
