▼M3 —————
Article 5
Member States may designate and make available the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz bands for other terrestrial systems not listed in the Annex, provided that they ensure that:
such systems can coexist with GSM systems;
such systems can coexist with other systems listed in the Annex, both on their own territory and in neighbouring Member States.
▼M3 —————
ANNEX
LIST OF TERRESTRIAL SYSTEMS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 3 AND ARTICLE 4(2)
The following technical parameters shall be applied as an essential component of the conditions necessary to ensure coexistence in the absence of bilateral or multilateral agreements between neighbouring networks, without precluding less stringent technical parameters if agreed among the operators of such networks.
Systems |
Technical parameters |
Implementation deadlines |
UMTS, as specified by ETSI Standards, in particular EN 301 908-1, EN 301 908-2, EN 301 908-3 and EN 301 908-11 |
1. Carrier separation of 5 MHz or more between two neighbouring UMTS networks. 2. Carrier separation of 2,8 MHz or more between a neighbouring UMTS network and a GSM network. |
9 May 2010 |
LTE (1), as specified by ETSI Standards, in particular EN 301 908-1, EN 301 908-13, EN 301 908-14, EN 301 908-15, and EN 301 908-18 |
1. A frequency separation of 200 kHz or more between the LTE channel edge and the GSM carrier's channel edge between a neighbouring LTE network and a GSM network. 2. No frequency separation is required between LTE channel edge and the UMTS carrier's channel edge between a neighbouring LTE network and a UMTS network. 3. No frequency separation is required between LTE channel edges between two neighbouring LTE networks. |
31 December 2011, except 30 September 2018 for LTE-MTC and LTE-eMTC |
WiMAX, as specified by ETSI Standards, in particular EN 301 908-1, EN 301 908-21 and EN 301 908-22 |
1. A frequency separation of 200 kHz or more between the WiMAX channel edge and the GSM carrier's channel edge between a neighbouring WiMAX network and a GSM network. 2. No frequency separation is required between the WiMAX channel edge and the UMTS carrier's channel edge between a neighbouring WiMAX network and a UMTS network. 3. No frequency separation is required between WiMAX channel edges between two neighbouring WiMAX networks. |
31 December 2011 |
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) as specified by ETSI standards, in particular EN 301 908-1, EN 301 908-13, EN 301 908-14, EN 301 908-15, and EN 301 908-18 |
1. Standalone mode: — A frequency separation of 200 kHz or more between the standalone NB-IoT channel edge of a network and the UMTS/LTE channel edge of the neighbouring network; — A frequency separation of 200 kHz or more between the standalone NB-IoT channel edge of a network and the GSM channel edge of the neighbouring network. 2. In-band mode: the same parameters apply as for LTE. 3. Guard-band mode: a frequency separation of 200 kHz or more, between the NB-IoT channel edge and the edge of the operator's block, taking into account existing guard bands between operators' block edges or the edge of the operating band (adjacent to other services). |

Including LTE Machine Type Communications (LTE-MTC) and LTE evolved Machine Type Communications (LTE-eMTC), which operate under the same technical conditions as LTE. |
