By determination of 4 May 2012, ANACOM has approved implementation in Portugal of European Commission (EC) Decisions 2011/829/EU(SRD) of 8 December 2011 and 2011/485/EU (SRR 24 GHz) of 29 July 2011, incorporating their provisions into the National Table of Frequency Allocations (NTFA), as approved by ANACOM determination of 7 July 2011.
Decision 2011/829/EU amends Decision 2006/771/EC of 9 November on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices. All frequency bands covered by this Decision are provided in Portugal under a full accessibility regime, as already laid down in NTFA 2010/2011.
Decision 2011/485/EU amends Decision 2005/50/EC of 17 January 2005 on the harmonisation of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar (SRR) equipment in the Community. The main purpose of this Decision is to give continuity to the temporary regulatory solution for SRR at 24GHz beyond 2013, given that the long-term solution for SRR at 79GHz is at a stage of development whereby mass market distribution remains unfeasible. Essentially, the amendments to Decision 2005/50/EC introduce changes in terms of the dates given for the availability of frequencies associated with 24 GHz SRR, while maintaining the technical/operational conditions governing use of such equipment.
Meanwhile, by determination of 10 May 2012, ANACOM has approved the technical conditions governing the use of SAP/SAB (services ancillary to broadcasting / services ancillary to programme making) in the 470-862 MHz band, amending NTFA 2010/2011 to clarify the technical conditions governing use of these services. The 470-790 MHz band was identified as the "tuning band" for SAB/SAP applications, excluding use of the 750-758 MHz and 734-742 MHz band for use of these types of applications in Mainland Portugal and in the Autonomous Region of Madeira respectively. The possibility of using the 821-832 MHz sub-band was also approved for radio microphones, in the event that the compatibility studies being conducted under the auspices of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) conclude by demonstrating their technical viability.
