prEN 303 978 V2.2.0

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Earth Stations on Mobile Platforms (ESOMP) equipment with the following characteristics:
• The ESOMP is designed for both mobile and stationary operation.
• The ESOMP operates on various mobile platforms such as trains, maritime vessels, aircraft and other vehicles.
• The ESOMP is controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). This function may be performed centrally (e.g. for a network of ESOMPs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the ESOMP for autonomous control. The NCF is outside the scope of the present document.
• The ESOMP transmit and receive frequencies are shown in table 1.
Table 1: Frequency bands
Frequency Bands/frequencies (GHz)
Transmit (Earth-to-space) 27,50 to 30,00
Receive (space-to-Earth) 17,30 to 20,20
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU is given in annex A.
