Testing

The European Union published a new version of Decision (EU) 2022/179 on 5GHz wireless local area network equipment (WAS/RLANs) spectrum usage on February 8, 2022. This Decision expands the application scenarios of 5GHz WAS/RLANs and replaces Decision 2005/513/EC issued by European Union in 2005.

Major Updates

1. The 1.5150-5250MHz band can be used inside buildings, facilities in road vehicles, trains and aircraft. It can also be used in limited outdoors. UAS (unmanned aerial vehicle) operation is only permitted in 5170-5250MHz band as a specific outdoor use case.

2. The proposed technical conditions for the 2.5250-5350MHz band only allow be used in buildings.

The 3.5470-5725MHz band can be used indoors and outdoors, but not includes installations in road vehicles, trains and aircraft. Also, it can’t be used for UAS.
