Australia - ACMA Proposals for Ultra Wideband (UWB)

From ACMA

http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_312114

Proposal 1:
The ACMA proposes to introduce arrangements supporting the use of very low power UWB devices operating in the bands 3.6 - 4.8 GHz and 6.0 - 8.5 GHz. These bands provide support for most existing indoor UWB devices and minimise the risk to operating margins of existing radiocommunications services.

Proposal 2:
The ACMA proposes to include a requirement for UWB devices supplied to the Australian market to employ additional mitigation techniques, such as DAA, in the 3.6-4.8 GHz band.

Proposal 3:
The ACMA will align with overseas arrangements and adopt in-band spectral power density limits for UWB devices of -41.3 dBm/MHz EIRP and a peak power limit of 0 dBm/50 MHz EIRP.

Proposal 4:
The ACMA proposes to adopt an out-of-band spectral density limit of -70 dBm/MHz in the segments 2.7-3.6 GHz and 4.8-6.0 GHz similar to other Region 3 countries.

Proposal 5:
The ACMA proposes to adopt the out-of-band spectral density mask set by European arrangements for indoor UWB devices below 2.7 GHz and above 8.5 GHz.

Proposal 6:
The ACMA intends to authorise the operation of UWB devices under a class licence. The class licence will adopt requirements and conditions for equipment to meet appropriate standards as specified under the radiocommunications standards and labelling arrangement.

Proposal 7:
The ACMA will consider the development of regulatory arrangements that support the operation of UWB technology in frequency bands designated for spectrum licensing where the UWB device emission levels are not greater than the out-of-band emission requirements specified in the technical frameworks associated with spectrum licences.

Russia - Refusal Letters

A refusal letter is an official document issued by a certification
authority which states that no mandatory certification is required
for the product or that the product belongs to a group of products
for which compliance can be confirmed with a compliance
declaration. A refusal letter must be written on the letterhead
of the authority that issues it and must bear the coat of arms seal
of said authority. Refusal letters can be issued to customs or
to Russian Federation business partners.
