1Radiocommunication serviceFixed-satellite (Earth-to-space)-
2ApplicationNGSO ESOMPsEarth Stations On Mobile Platforms (ESOMPs) operating with NGSO FSS systems.
Considered are Land, Maritime and Aeronautical ESOMPs.
3Frequency bandA: 27.5 - 29.1 GHz
B: 29.5 - 30.0 GHz
ESOMPs shall not cause harmful interference to FS systems in Switzerland in the bands 27.9405 - 28.4445 GHz and 28.9485 - 29.4525 GHz according the ECC/DEC/(15)04.
Receive frequency band (space-to-Earth): 17.3 - 20.2 GHz.
ESOMPs receiving in the band 17.3-17.7 GHz shall not claim protection from BSS feeder links operating in the same band and in conformity with their national regulations.
ESOMPs receiving in the band 17.7-19.7 GHz shall not claim protection from interference from fixed stations operating in the same band and in conformity with their national regulations.
