Wirnet iBTS 868
2.1.1
Europe / CE
Wirnet iBTS 868 complies with requirements listed in:
•
RED Directive 2014/53/EU
•
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
•
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU
•
The limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields
specified in the Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC:
The power supply of the Wirnet iBTS 868 must be a limited power source.
The Wirnet iBTS 868 is considered as a category 1.5 receiver according to the EN 300 220-1.
The Wirnet iBTS 868 has CE marking.
In Europe, the Wirnet iBTS 868 station must comply with the ERC 70-3 requirements
regarding duty cycle and maximum EIRP. They are summarized in the following table:
ERC 70-03 Band
Frequency (MHz)
Power
Duty cycle
h1.2
865-868
14dBm ERP
1%
h1.4
868-868,6
14dBm ERP
1%
h1.5
868,7-869,2
14dBm ERP
0,1%
h1.6
869,4-869,65
27dBm ERP
10%
h1.7
869,7-870
14dBm ERP
1%
h2.1
870-873
14dBm ERP
1%
The frequency channels arrangement must be compliant to the LoRaWAN specification and
the regional parameters (EU 863-870 MHz) as defined in [1] and [2].
If the LoRa antenna is changed, the output power must be adjusted to take into account the
gain of the antenna to not overrule the ERC 70-3 regulation.
Be careful, some countries in Europe may have specific frequency range, EIRP and duty
cycles regulations:
-
Greece, Sweden: bands h1.2 and h2.1 must not be used
-
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Latvia,
Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Potugal, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia, Turkey: band
h2.1 must not be used
Check the local regulations before installing and commissioning the gateway.
For other countries, outside Europe, check the frequency range, the maximum EIRP and duty
cycle allowed.
