Scope

This Recommendation provides specific radio interface standards for broadband wireless access (BWA) systems in the land mobile service allocations. The standards included in this Recommendation are capable of supporting users at broadband data rates, taking into account the ITU‑R definitions of “wireless access” and “broadband wireless access” found in Recommendation ITU‑R F.1399[1].

This Recommendation is not intended to deal with the identification of suitable frequency bands for BWA systems, nor with any regulatory issues.

[1] Broadband wireless access is defined as wireless access in which the connection(s) capabilities are higher than the primary rate, which is defined as the transmission bit rate of 1.544 Mbit/s (T1) or 2.048 Mbit/s (E1). Wireless access is defined as end-user radio connection(s) to core networks.
