<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Martin,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you Martin for the useful and prompt feedback.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Regarding your comment on, “<i>The ECHONET Profile specifies in section 3.7.2 note *4: “Only 100kbps is mandatory for single-hop smart meter-HEMS network. 50kbps is optional.</i>”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As ECHONET profile specification describes only 100 kbps be mandatory for only single-hop HEMS network; however for single-hop home network and for ECHONET Lite over non IP, both 50 kbps and 100 kbps are being
specified as mandatory. To address this, we can include a note at the bottom of Table 2 to say, 50 kbps is kept optional for ECHONET single-hop smart meter-HEMS network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Regarding, “</span><i><span style="color:#1F497D">In table 2 the channel spacing is stated as MHz (100, 200,…), it should be probably kHz.</span></i><span style="color:#1F497D">”, it was typo indeed, I will change
that to KHz. Thanks for catching that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We will finalize these comments during the next week PHYWG call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This frequency band document is great.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have one question:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The ECHONET Profile specifies in section 3.7.2 note *4: “</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Only 100kbps is mandatory for single-hop smart meter-HEMS network. 50kbps is optional.”</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">According to the new frequency band document the PHY modes #1 and #2 (50 and 100kbps) are mandatory for all Wi-SUN devices (incl. those operating in Japan).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This seems to me conflicting (for Japan HEMS, i.e. route B).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">How do you plan to solve this ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">BTW: In table 2 the channel spacing is stated as MHz (100, 200,…), it should be probably kHz.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All WG members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PHYWG has received multiple comments/ feedback on the PHY regional frequency bands document and also received a request to include new frequency bands that are not specified in the previous version of the document.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The document has been updated to incorporate all the received comments, including the addition of new frequency bands. All the changes have been marked in
<span style="color:red">RED</span> with track changes on. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As this document will be referenced in all Wi-SUN profile specifications for using any of the regional frequency bands, so I would strongly encourage all WGs to review the updated document and prepare with any comments, feedback or suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am planning to schedule a PHYWG call for next week to discuss any comments or suggestion regarding this document.
<span style="color:red">Stay tune for the call details and agenda items for next week call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
