EU Harmonizes 2 GHz Satellite Spectrum Rules Across 27 States
VSAT•The EU’s Radio Spectrum Committee has set maximum power flux density limits of –112 dBW/m² in the 2 GHz band and defined strict out-of-band emission masks, standardizing VSAT terminal approval across 27 member states. These harmonized technical rules aim to expedite satellite broadband deployments by reducing cross-border interference risks.
1. EU Defines Clear 2 GHz Satellite Emission Limits
The Radio Spectrum Committee adopted specific emission and power flux density masks for satellite component operations in the 2 GHz band, setting a maximum in-band limit of –112 dBW/m² and strict out-of-band roll-off requirements. This harmonization across 27 member states streamlines certification for VSAT terminals, reduces cross-border interference, and accelerates deployment of broadband satellite services.
