General
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for equipment implementing the
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) common interface, as specified in the multi-part technical
specification ETSI EN 300 175 including the variants DECT Evolution and DECT ULE (see ETSI EN 300 175-1 [i.3]
for an overview).
The present document applies to the following equipment types:
a) Fixed Part (FP);
b) Portable Part (PP);
c) Cordless Terminal Adapter (CTA);
d) Wireless Relay Station (WRS) (FP and PP combined);
e) Hybrid Part (HyP) (a PP with capability to act as a FP to provide PP to PP communication).
NOTE: This release of the standard covers the WRS type CRFP, but not the WRS type REP.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Radiocommunications service
frequency bands
Transmit 1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz
Receive 1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz
The DECT service frequency band for transmitting and receiving for all elements is 1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz.
National regulation can allow additional frequency bands.
Details of the DECT Common Interface may be found in the multi-part deliverable ETSI EN 300 175 (see [1] to [4] and
[i.3] to [i.6]). Further details of the DECT system may be found in the ETSI TR 101 178 [i.1].
DECT ULE implements, in addition to the DECT Common Interface, the multi-part ETSI TS 102 939 (see ETSI
TS 102 939-1 [i.7] and ETSI TS 102 939-2 [i.8]).
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.10] is given in annex A.
