European Union. Given the market need to effectively exploit both E-Band and V-Band frequency bands, an exhaustive investigation has been carried out among administrations and regulatory bodies to gather allocation status, licensing regime and other relevant data. -

however, also the lower portion spanning from 48.5 GHz to 57 GHz can be generally included in the V-Band definition. E-Band is intended to cover 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz. Terminology and definitions Many of the concepts related to spectrum use do not have unique definitions endorsed in ITU vocabulary;... -

The potential risks of errors or misuses in the coordination process might be higher because of the number of actors involved, some of them also not sufficiently technically skilled. Sometimes also referred to as “traditional licensing” E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation... -

“standard” link-by-link fees applied to unplanned/uncoordinated links exist (among which V-Band is typically considered). One of the most popular methods to define fees for E-band usage is comprised of two main components, namely: The Application Fee, and ... - Page 10 (area). The use of incentives is frequent to promote use of higher frequencies. Our survey confirmed that licence fees vary a lot from country to country. For the E-Band case, we have provided a high level comparison of the fees due in given cases.

Page 14: Regulatory Emissions Limitations
However, ECC/REC(05)02 does not have any emissions limit and this might imply an improper (or unfair) use of the band by high power and low antenna gain systems. The FCC in the USA adopted a methodology (initially for E-Band) of limiting the maximum EIRP as a function of antenna gain (G) with a general formula: EIRP (dB) = EIRPmax (dB) –... - Page 15 (in addition to the ECC emissions regulation) for all equipment in this part of V-Band (as well as in E-Band) in ETSI EN 302 217-3 [10]. A similar limitation for equipment working in the 64-66 GHz band can be found in ETSI EN 302 217-3. E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation...

Regulatory concerns where the band in some countries is split into segments with different regulations. For example, concerns can be due to the much lower propagation loss in the 64-66 GHz part, or due to different sharing conditions.

43dBi is required, but in future can become 38dBi. Licensing is based on “Non-exclusive Nationwide with Link Registration” and coordination is mandatory.

A lot of administrations, also outside Europe (e.g. Canada and Japan) are today adopting the frequency arrangement for E-Band as per the CEPT-recommended band plan, option 2, comprised of 250 MHz channels with 125 MHz guard-bands on either end of the bands and with the flexibility of channel aggregation within the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands, to support higher capacities when necessary. -

E-Band, started an overall revision also of the more popular Harmonized EN 302 217-2-2, which introduced also for the E-Band all the additional TX and RX harmonized parameters necessary for the case of fully coordinated deployment. -

[Appendix A]. The places where E-Band is today open for fixed services is indicated in green, in red the places where this band is closed today and in blue the places where the use of E-Band is open, but under review. - Page 24 (i.e.: Appendix [E]). In this case, a low level fee is requested. In other countries, like Mexico and Columbia, the E-Band can be seen as a sort of licensing exception, so there is no coordination and usually fees are not requested.
- Page 25 85% of the cases require less than this average value. Almost 75% of the cases require less than €1 000. Most administrations indicate maximum EIRP of 85 dBm, as expected. E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation...

Special case - OFCOM UK From 2006 to 2009, when in Europe, in practice, only the UK had opened the band to fixed services, ETSI developed TS 102 524 “Fixed Radio Systems; Point-to-Point equipment; Radio equipment and antennas for use in Point-to-Point Millimetre wave applications in the Fixed Services (mmwFS) frequency bands 71 GHz to 76 GHz and 81 GHz to 86 GHz”... -
Page 27: Conclusions
Conclusions The current status of V-Band and E-Band is captured using a set of heterogeneous sources, allowing us a good level of cross checking. Considering the standpoint of fixed service applications, mainly wireless mobile backhauling and small cell backhauling needs, we have identified some critical points which should be mitigated, according to us, for a fruitful exploitation of these two bands. -

Page 35: Examples Of E-Band Fees
G. Examples of E-Band Fees Some cases, in anonymous form, are reported here to show how administrations determine the fee in case of E-Band exploitation. In most cases, the methods are not so different to those applied in lower and traditional frequency bands. - Page 36 C2, Population coefficient, tries to take account if a specific area is congested or not. The higher the frequency band, the lower the fees are. In this case E-Band is charged ten times less compared to 10 GHz. This is a common approach among a lot of administrations.
