mobile communication services on board vessels(MCV services) means electronic communication services, as defined in Article 2, point (4), of Directive (EU) 2018/1972, provided by an undertaking to enable persons on board a vessel to communicate via public communication networks using a system subject to Article 3 without establishing direct connections with land-based mobile networks;
on a non-interference and non-protected basismeans that MCV services may not cause harmful interference to any other radio-communication service nor can MCV services claim protection against harmful interference originating from other radio-communication services;
the 1800 MHz frequency bandmeans the 1710–1785 MHz frequency band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 1805–1880 MHz frequency band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
the 900 MHz frequency bandmeans the 880–915 MHz frequency band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 925–960 MHz frequency band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
the paired 2,6 GHz frequency bandmeans the 2500–2570 MHz frequency band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 2620–2690 MHz frequency band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
the paired terrestrial 2 GHz frequency bandmeans the 1920–1980 MHz frequency band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 2110–2170 MHz frequency band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
vessel base transceiver station(vessel-BS) means a mobile pico-cell located on a vessel and supporting mobile systems in compliance with the Annex to this Decision.
