Country Implementation Status Date (of update) Date (of activation) Remarks
Albania implemented 04-10-2010 Implemented through reference in the National Frequency Allocation Table, Government Decision Nr.479, Dt. 06.05.2009
Andorra no info / see remarks
Austria limited implementation / see remarks 13-03-2013 In Austria the decision can only be implemented partly. The frequency band 28.8365-28.9485 GHz is designated to FS and currently licensed to Mobile Operators. After the termination of the valid licences (according to decides 2) and depending on the future need in the Mobile backhaul market, Austria will decide on the future application of the band 28.8365-28.9485 GHz for FS or FSS, taking into account the most beneficial usage

Lithuania limited implementation / see remarks 26-06-2012 FSS Earth stations - No<br> Fixed links - Yes<br> Lithuania has already implemented ECC/DEC/(05)01 partly by designating relevant bands for FS. Because 27.5-29.5 GHz band is still extensively used by radio relay links and we do not observe solid demand for FSS services in Lithuania, after amendment of the mentioned decision we stand with the same position and meanwhile restrain from setting additional restrictions for terrestrial stations
