The Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has updated and published Radio Standards Specification RSS-192 (Issue 5) – Flexible Use Broadband Equipment Operating in the Band 3450-3900 MHz. This document replaces RSS-192, issue 4, Flexible Use Broadband Equipment Operating in the Band 3450-3650 MHz, dated May 2020.
Main changes include:
- Extended the upper end of frequency range from 3650 to 3900 MHz to allow flexible use and updated the title of the standard accordingly.
- Added and revised definitions to clarify the terms used.
- Modified the transmitter output power for indoor base station and subscriber equipment other than fixed subscriber equipment.
- Added out-of-frequency band unwanted emission requirements for equipment operating beyond 3900 MHz.
- Removed the test report requirements as the requirement of identifying base station equipment as type 1 and type 2 classification has been removed.
- Modernized to reflect the current RSS structure.
RSS-192 (Issue 5) entered into force upon publication and is now in effect. However, a transition period of six months from the publication date will be provided. During this transition period, applications for certification under either RSS-192, issue 5 or issue 4, will be accepted.
