The Wireless Telegraphy (Short Range Devices) (Exemption) Regulations 2009

Exemption for airborne use

6.—(1) The establishment and installation and the airborne use of equipment complying with paragraphs (2) to (5) of this regulation is hereby exempt from the provisions of section 8(1) of the Act.

(2) The equipment must only operate in one or more of the frequency bands—

(a) 26990 to 27000 kHz;

(b) 27040 to 27050 kHz;

(c) 27090 to 27100 kHz;

(d) 27140 to 27150 kHz;

(e) 27190 to 27200 kHz;

(f) 2400 to 2483.5 MHz; or

(g) 2446 to 2454 MHz.

(3) Where the equipment operates in a frequency band listed in paragraphs (2)(a) to (e), it must—

(a) be for controlling the movement of a model;

(b) only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum effective radiated power level of 100 mW; and

(c) not cause or contribute to undue interference with wireless telegraphy.

(4) Where the equipment operates in the frequency band listed in paragraph (2)(f), it must—

(a) be wide band data transmission systems equipment;

(b) only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum e.i.r.p. density of 100 mW;

(c) only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum e.i.r.p. density of—

(i) 100 mW per 100 kHz when frequency hopping modulation is used; and

(ii) 10 mW per MHz when other types of modulation are used;

(d) use techniques to mitigate interference that provide at least equivalent performance to the techniques described in ETSI standard EN 300 328(1); and

(e) not cause or contribute to undue interference with wireless telegraphy.

(5) Where the equipment operates in the frequency band listed in paragraph (2)(g), it must—

(a) be designed or adapted for radio frequency identification use;

(b) only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum e.i.r.p. density of 100 mW; and

(c) not cause or contribute to undue interference with wireless telegraphy.
