ANACOM has decided, by determination of 6 August 2008, to grant authorisation to REFER TELECOM, S.A. to operate the GSM-R system in the 876-880 MHz and 921-925 MHz frequency bands, according to the general authorisation scheme, pursuant to the Electronic Communications Law (ECL), whereby the operation of the system will be subject to compliance with the applicable conditions laid down in article 27 of the ECL, including the technical conditions of Decision ECC/DEC/(02)05.
