ANNEXURE B RADIO APPARATUS EXEMPT FROM SPECTRUM LICENSE
Explanation:
- The use or possession of the radio apparatus listed in Column B below, in accordance with the specifications listed in Columns A, C, D and E of the Table below does not require a spectrum license.
- Use and possession of all radio apparatus exempt in terms of the above table must comply with the following:
- 2.1 All radio apparatus must be type-approved by the Authority or by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa or, upon request to the Authority, by any other regulatory authority in a country other than Namibia or South Africa.

- 2.2 The frequencies, transmitting power and external high-gain antenna of the radio apparatus must not be altered without a new type-approved certificate issued by the Authority or any other regulatory authority referred to in paragraph 2.1.
- 2.3 The radio apparatus must be operated within, and not exceed, the technical parameters set out in each of the applicable Column's C and D of the Table with respect to the frequency band, maximum radiated power or field strength limits and channel spacing, relevant standards and duty cycles and antennas to be used and contained in Column E.
- 2.4 The antenna of the radio apparatus must not be higher or above average ground level than the lowest point of the place where the radio apparatus operates effectively.
- 2.5 The radio apparatus may not cause interference with any licensed radio frequency spectrum.
- 2.6 The user of the radio apparatus in the license-exempt frequency spectrum operates on a non-interference and zero protection basis from interference.

Footnotes
Note 1: When either duty cycle, Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) or equivalent technique applies then it shall not be user dependent/adjustable and shall be guaranteed by appropriate technical means. For LBT devices without Adaptive Frequency Agility (AFA), or equivalent techniques, the duty cycle limit applies. For any type of frequency agile device the duty cycle limit applies to the total transmission unless LBT or equivalent technique is used.
Note 2: Audio and video applications are allowed provided that a digital modulation method is used with a maximum bandwidth of 300 kHz. Analogue and digital voice applications are allowed with a maximum bandwidth ≤ 25 kHz.
Note 3: The preferred channel spacing is 100 kHz allowing for a subdivision into 50 kHz or 25 kHz.
Note 4: Sub-bands for alarms are excluded (see ERC/REC 70-03 Annex 7).
Note 5: Audio and video applications are excluded. Analogue or digital voice applications are allowed with a maximum bandwidth ≤ 25 kHz and with spectrum access technique such as LBT or equivalent. The transmitter shall include a power output sensor controlling the transmitter to a maximum transmit period of 1 minute for each transmission.
Note 6: Duty cycle may be increased to 1% if the band is limited to 865-868 MHz.
Note 7: For other wide-band modulation than FHSS and DSSS with a bandwidth of 200 kHz to 3 MHz, duty cycle can be increased to 1% if the band is limited to 865-868 MHz and power to ≤10 mW e.r.p.
Note 8: The power density can be increased to +6.2 dBm/100 kHz and -0.8 dBm/100 kHz, if the band of operation is limited to 865-868 MHz and 865-870 MHz respectively.
Note 9: Certain channels may be occupied by RFID operating at higher powers (See Annex 11 for further details). To minimise the risk of interference from RFID, SRDs should use LBT with AFA or observe suitable separation distances. (In the high power RFID channels typically these may vary from 918 m (indoor) to 3.6 km (rural outdoor). In the remaining 2.2 MHz, where tags at -20 dBm e.r.p. occupy the spectrum, this may vary from 24 m (indoor) to 58 m (rural outdoor)). The adjacent frequency bands below 862 MHz and above 870 MHz may be used by high power systems. Manufacturers should take this into account in the design of equipment and choice of power levels.
Note 10: The frequency band 5795-5805 MHz is intended for road to vehicle systems, particularly (but not exclusively) road toll systems. The frequency bands 5795-5805 MHz and 5805-5815 MHz are recommended for 5 MHz channel spacing systems with the frequencies: 5797.5 MHz, 5802.5 MHz, 5807.5 MHz and 5812.5 MHz. For 10 MHz channel spacing systems 5800 MHz and 5810 MHz. 5805 - 5815 MHz on a national basis for multi-lane road junctions, particularly, but not exclusively road toll systems. The use of 8 W e.i.r.p. allows for 1 Mbit/s in accordance with ETSI standard ES 200 674-1. 2W e.i.r.p. allows for 500 kbit/s downlink and 250 kbit/s uplink in accordance with EN 300 674-1 and for low data rates (31 kbit/s) in accordance with EN 300 674-2.
