2ApplicationFSS Earth stationsSatellite Interactive Terminals (SIT), Satellite User Terminals (SUT) and High e.i.r.p. Satellite Terminal (HEST) operating with GSO FSS networks.
3Frequency band29.50 - 30.00 GHzReceive frequency bands (space-to-Earth):
SITs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 10.70 GHz to 11.70 GHz (the band 10.70 - 11.70 GHz is co-primary used with the FS under the terms of sufficient geographical separation and uncoordinated FSS Earth stations operate in this band on a non protected basis) and from 12.50 GHz to 12.75 GHz.
SUTs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 19.70 GHz to 20.20 GHz and from 17.70 GHz to 19.70 GHz (the band 17.70 GHz to 19.70 GHz is co-primary used with the FS under the terms of sufficient geographical separation and uncoordinated FSS Earth stations operate in this band on a non protected basis).

Liechtenstein: Individual assignment required.		Switzerland: Terminals are license exempt on the condition that the terminals are under the control of a network for which a valid spectrum license for the Swiss territory is required.
Liechtenstein: The exemption from the individual assignment requirement only applies under the condition and in the framework of a valid license for the Liechtenstein territory that includes the use of individual customer terminals.
