That why the FAC Declaration was applied with the next radio emission features that could be used in the Russian Federation:
Communication standard | Frequency range, reception /transmission, MHz |
Max. Power, W |
IRIDIUM | 1621.35-1626.5 MHz | 3,98 |
FAC Declaration specifies that the equipment has no built-in cryptography (encryption) and includes a receiver of the global satellite navigation system GPS.
