Requirements related to mobile equipment identifier and international mobile equipment identity number have also been removed.
RSS-170 — Mobile Earth Stations and Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) Equipment Operating in the Mobile-Satellite Service Bands (Issue 4) – This specification replaces Issue 3, and adds requirements for ATC equipment operating in the 2483.5-2495 MHz frequency band. The 2180-2200 MHz band was removed since it is now a part of RSS-139, and the frequency bands for mobile earth stations and ATC equipment have also been updated.
