Introduction
The ETSI EN 302 217 series replaced and superseded a number of older standards (frequency and/or capacity oriented),
which remained, only as "historical" documents, in the ETSI data base. Provided that they may still be referenced in
some documentation, the version 2.1.1 of the present document [i.41] provides their list.

ETSI
9 ETSI EN 302 217-1 V3.4.1 (2025-07)
1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [16], annex B to annex L.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI
EN 302 217 series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [16].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements (articles 3.1a and 3.1b of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]), as well as other special conditions and requirements (articles 3.3(a) to 3.3(i) of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]) are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217 series.

Introduction
The ETSI EN 302 217 series replaced and superseded a number of older standards (frequency and/or capacity oriented),
which remained, only as "historical" documents, in the ETSI data base. Provided that they may still be referenced in
some documentation, the version 2.1.1 of the present document [i.41] provides their list.

ETSI
9 ETSI EN 302 217-1 V3.4.1 (2025-07)
1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [16], annex B to annex L.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI
EN 302 217 series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [16].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements (articles 3.1a and 3.1b of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]), as well as other special conditions and requirements (articles 3.3(a) to 3.3(i) of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]) are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217 series.

Introduction
The ETSI EN 302 217 series replaced and superseded a number of older standards (frequency and/or capacity oriented),
which remained, only as "historical" documents, in the ETSI data base. Provided that they may still be referenced in
some documentation, the version 2.1.1 of the present document [i.41] provides their list.

ETSI

1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [16], annex B to annex L.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI
EN 302 217 series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [16].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements (articles 3.1a and 3.1b of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]), as well as other special conditions and requirements (articles 3.3(a) to 3.3(i) of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]) are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217 series.
