ANACOM authorises GSM-R trials


ANACOM  has granted authorisation to Refer Telecom – Serviços de Telecomunicações, to use channels 878.6-923.6 MHz  and 879-924 MHz for the purposes of carrying out technical trial and demonstrations of GSM-R  technology, which will take place in Sacavém and Oriente Station in Lisbon. This authorisation follows a request made by the company and is applicable until the end of 2006.
 
The granting of this authorization does not imply any commitment, obligation or constraint regarding the future allocation by ANACOM of rights to use frequencies in Portugal reserved for GSM-R technology.
 
ANACOM will accompany the trials and have access to their conclusions, both from a technological standpoint and also in terms of the effective market potential of services based on these technologies.
