(20 page(s), in English), (2 page(s), in German), (2 page(s), in French)

The Ordinance of the Swiss Federal Office of Communications on telecommunications installations (OOIT) specifies the basic technical requirements with regard to telecommunications installations.

Radio interface regulations (RIR) define the requirements for the frequency use by radiocommunication equipment in the frequency range up to 3000 GHz. RIR include the technical parameters, the frequency bands as well as the rules on the use of the radio frequency spectrum. The list of RIR and their version are in annex 1 of the Ordinance of the Swiss Federal Office of Communications on telecommunications installations (OOIT).

Following radio interface regulations have to be revised due to latest frequency management developments.

· 784.101.21/RIR0201-80 (MWS in the frequency range 40.5-42.5 GHz): the RIR will be deleted on 1/1/2024 and will also no longer be referenced in the 2023 National Frequency Allocation plan (NaFZ).

· 784.101.21/RIR0203-11 (Cordless cameras in the frequency range 1980 - 3500 MHz): the RIR will be amended by removing the frequency range 3410 - 3500 MHz.

· 784.101.21/RIR0302-11 (Point-to-Point communications in the frequency range 10.150 - 10.650 GHz): the RIR will be amended by the expansion of the occupied bandwidth with 28 MHz.

· 784.101.21/RIR0501-33 (Private International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) networks in the frequency range 3400 - 3500 MHz): This is a new RIR for private IMT networks in the 3400 - 3500 MHz band.

· 784.101.21/RIR0603-10 (Inland waterway communications in the frequency range 156 - 174 MHz): the RIR will be amended by the adjustment of the transmit power according to user category.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-01 (Radio microphones in the frequency range 31.4 - 39.6 MHz): the RIR will be amended in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-09 (Radio microphones in the frequency range 1785 - 1804.8 MHz): the RIR will be amended in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-12 (Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) in the frequency range 173.965 - 223 MHz): the RIR will be amended in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10. No more restrictions on the occupied bandwidth.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-14 (Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) in the frequency range 169.4000-169.4750 MHz): the RIR will be amended in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-15 (Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) in the frequency range 169.4875-169.5875 MHz): the RIR will be amended in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10.

· 784.101.21/RIR1009-18 (Radio microphones in the frequency range 823 - 826 MHz): the RIR will be amended by the adaptation of the frequency band in order to be in line with ERC/REC 70-03, Annex 10.

· 784.101.21/ RIR1013-18 (Wireless audio/multimedia communications in the frequency range): the RIR will be deleted on 1/1/2024 and will also no longer be referenced in the 2023 National Frequency Allocation plan (NaFZ).
