On July 20, 2023, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) published RSS-199 Issue 4, Broadband Radio Service (BRS) Equipment Operating in the 2500–2690 MHz Band, which replaces RSS-199 Issue 3. The main changes are as follows:

• Paired and unpaired spectrum plans for the 2500-2690 MHz band have been added to Tables 1 and 2, respectively
• Table 3 adds the maximum transmit power requirements for fixed stations and base stations for non-AAS and AAS equipment;
• The total radiated power requirement for unwanted emissions is added in Section 5.6;
• Add definitions to clarify the terminology used;
• Adjust to the latest RSS standard structure;
• Other editorial changes and revisions made to improve clarity.

With this standard update, ISED still provides a six-month transition period, and manufacturers can choose to test in Issue 3 or Issue 4 until January 20, 2024.
