TC ATTM Working Group TM 4 Terms of Reference

The Working Group TM 4 in TC ATTM will be responsible for all aspects (*) related to the implementation, deployment and operation of equipment in the Fixed Radio Service (**), and in particular:

  • ETSI standards (ES and EN), including EN intended to become Harmonised (HS) developed under EC standardisation request (according art 21 of ETSI RoP), for all equipment aspects including antenna parameters of digital point-to-point and multipoint radio systems, used in:
  • ETSI Technical Reports (TR) in support to the above standards on:
  • Communication core network;
  • Backhauling/x-hauling network connections for mobile service;
  • Fixed wireless access (FWA) networks;
  • Any other public or private communication networks (e.g. for utilities control or digital TV distribution/contribution) requiring fixed radio links connections.
  • description and use guidelines of specific radio functionalities;
  • introduction of specific requirements for standardising new technologies and techniques;
  • consideration of sustainable practices and evolving environment objectives.
  • Definition of functional requirements for radio-frequency equipment and transmission systems and their interfaces;
  • Cooperation and technical support towards ECC/PT SE19 for channel arrangements and improved spectrum usage in the frequency bands allocated to fixed service (***).

In addition, liaisons and co-operations will be maintained, whenever necessary, with other Bodies in ETSI, CEPT/ECC and in ITU-R (in particular WP 5C dealing with Fixed Service) and other relevant standardization groups (***) on the above mentioned issues and other aspects relevant to fixed radio systems and related equipment and network design.

(*) Radio-frequency matters that may affect CEPT/ECC radio-frequency allocation and policy are excluded;

(**) Defined in accordance with the Radio Regulations (1.20) as: “A terrestrial radiocommunication service between specified fixed points.”

(***) In any case, co-ordination with ETSI TC ERM will always be ensured.
