Telecommunications: Public telecommunications networks

United Kingdom

The Commission has issued two decisions on a common technical regulation covering the telephony application requirement for terminal equipment for the pan-European cellular digital land-based mobile telecommunications network. The decisions cover equipment comprising constant envelope modulation and operating in either the 900 MHz band, or the 1800 MHz band, both with a channel separation of 200 kHz and carrying traffic channels according to the TDMA principle. These decisions will haromonise the technical requirements of previous Directives 98/13/EC, 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
