1 January 2024 ( 3 )
( 1 ) Member States shall not allow new deployments of terrestrial systems capable of providing wireless broadband electronic communications services in the frequency range 22-23,6 GHz, in order to ensure the appropriate protection of the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (passive) and the Radio Astronomy Service in the 23,6-24 GHz frequency band in conjunction with the limit applicable after 1 January 2024.
( 2 ) This limit applies to base stations brought into use after 1 January 2024. This limit does not apply to base stations that have been brought into use prior to that date. For those base stations, the limit of – 33 dBW/200 MHz continues to apply after 1 January 2024. Member States shall consider additional measures to assess and mitigate the aggregate impact of those base stations in relation to their obligation under Article 3(a) regarding the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (passive). Such measures include adaptation of the size of assigned blocks, the antenna configuration, the in-block power or the penetration of equipment.’
( 3 ) This limit applies to terminal stations brought into use after 1 January 2024. This limit does not apply to terminal stations that have been brought into use prior to that date. For those terminal stations, the limit of – 29 dBW/200 MHz continues to apply after 1 January 2024.’
