2、ications Committee“ (ERC): INTRODUCTION 1. Definition According to the Radio Regulations, the Land Mobile Satellite Service (LMSS) is defined as a space radiocommunications service between mobile earth stations, i.e. earth stations intended to be used while in motion or during halts at unsmed points
3、 where the mobile earth stations are located on land, and one or more space stations. 2. Levels of Free Circulation According to the ERC Decision on free circulation of radio equipment RC/DEC/(95)01) three different levels of kee circulation were identifid Level 1 - free circulation without permissi
4、on to use the radio equipment; Level 2 - free circulation with permission to use the radio equipment; Level 3 - free circulation with permission to place the radio equipment on the market. This Recommendation only relates to levels 1 and 2 of free circulation. 3. Importance of Free Circulation for L
5、MSS The ERC has decided that one of its policy goals is to provide for the free circulation of radio equipment within CEF member countries. Concerning land mobile-satellite communications, the number of users of LMSS terminals increased rapidly in recent years, in particular those used by entities i
6、nvolved in the internationai transport of goods around Europe. Subsequently the free border-crossing and use of radio equipment is a fundamental factor to achieve the full development of commercial and industrial activities in CEFT member countries, thereby benefiting the consumers. Therefore CEFT m
7、ember countries have decided to establish regulatory mechanisms in order to enable foreign visitors to carry and use LMSS terminals without requiring a national iicence. The same considerations would also apply to non-CEFT countries who may therefore also want to join in the free circulation arrange

Need for the Recommendation In order to enable the free circulation and use of LMSS terminals a number of Recommendations have been adopted in the past. As a first step T/R 21-07
9、 was introduced. That was a generic Recommendation which could be used for all kinds of systems, but was in reality only used for LMSS. The produre of this Recommendation was that a Circulation Card was issued to the holder of the terminal on which it was indicated in which countries the terminal co
10、uld enter and whether or not it could be used. Exchanging the required information between the participating administrations, keeping the infomation on the Circulation Card up to date and issuing the card to all persons requiring it was a lot of work, specially smce there was at that moment in time
11、no central office like the ER0 which could assist these procedures. Therefore, subsequently separate Recommendations dealing with Jnmarsat-C, EutelTRACS and inmarsat - M terminals were produced (T/R 31-02, T/R 21-09 and T/R 21-11). These Recommendations did not requke a Circulation Card. A specific
12、mark, which denoted that the terminal complied with the technical requirements of the system operator, was sufficient for free circulation and use. These last mentioned Recommendations were of a temporary nature. This was a condition for acceptance of the type testing performed by the satellite oper
13、ators until European standards covering LMSS terminals would have been nalised and accepted. The Recommendations were valid until end of December 1995. Although these Recommendations were intended to replace T/R 21-07 and the Circulation Card procedure, there are still many administrations that requ
14、ire a Circulation Card. In 1995 an ERC Decision on free circulation of radio equipment was adopted (ERC/DEC/(95)01). This Decision covers Inmarsat-C, EutelTRACS and Inmarsat-M terminals and stipulates that the carriage and use of these terminais shall be ailowed without requiring any kind of licence
15、 or registration in the country visited. However, Since it is expected that the implementation of the Decision requires considerable time and the system specific Recommendations have expired since O1 January 1996, an arrangement safeguarding the free circulation of these terminals until the Decision
16、 has been implemented in the vast majority of countries is considered necessary. When the Decision is implemented by nearly all CEPT corntries this Recommendation might be reconsidered or used primarily for non-CEFT countries. 5. Procedure of the Recommendation Since - as mentioned above - many admi
17、nistrations still require a Circulation Card, this Recommendation provides the facility for administrations, either to require a Circulation Card or to allow the free circulation and use (level 2) on the basis of an appropfiate CEPT marking of the equipment. The terminals should in any case conform
18、to the relevant ETSI standards. Edition of August 26, 1996 STD.CEPT CEPT/ERC/REC 21-15 E-ENGL 199b m 232b414 00145L5 376 m CEPTERCIREC 21 -1 5 E page 3 It is however obvious that free circulation and use (level 2) on the basis of marking alone is the preferred option, since it minimises the administ
19、rative burden on users, operators and administrations. In fact, it is desirable to abandon the Circulation Cards scheme in the future due to the practical and administrative difficulties that it implies and allow the free circulation and use (level 2) solely on the basis of an appropriate CEPT marki
20、ng affixed on the equipment. Therefore and in order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, this Recommendation should be reviewed within three years. The CEPT marking as dened in this Recommendation enables the free circulation and use (level 2) of terminais by visitors from other countries. This
21、 Recommendation does not affect the conformity assessment procedures and the relevant marking regulations within the EEA, especially those emerging from the EC Directive 91/263/EEC extended by the EC Directive 93/97/EEC which cover Satellite Earth Station terminals. ER0 will register and update the
22、information from ail CEPT countries whether free Circulation is based on the marking system or if, in addition, the Circulation Card is required. If necessary, the administrations should upon request enable LMSS users in their respective country to be issued with the circulation cards. Non-CEPT admi
23、nistrations who want to join the fie Circulation system shall apply to the CEPT for participation. When the application is accepted the ER0 shall mclude the relevant information in a list in accordance with the Appendix II to this Recommendation.
