The chances of any ISPs deploying long-range TV White Space (TVWS) based wireless broadband networks to serve remote rural UK premises has just significantly declined. Ofcom<\/a> has given notice that their related device (WSD) authorisation framework is no longer available.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. The TVWS technology harnessed the gaps that exist between radio spectrum in the Digital Terrestrial TV (DTTV) bands – within 470MHz to 790MHz. Such gaps are normally intended to help minimise the risk of interference between channels, although a new dynamic spectrum management system (database) meant that they could also be used to deliver data (i.e. this database has to account for any changes in the TV channel \/ spectrum assignments).<\/p>\n

A tiny number of network operators and ISPs, such as Broadway Partners<\/a> (now part of Voneus<\/a>), did build a number of wireless broadband networks using this same technology and some even promised download speeds of up to 50Mbps. But the solution never really took off and today the focus has switched to deploying gigabit-capable networks, which is a level of performance that TVWS could never hope to achieve.<\/p>\n

However, Ofcom<\/a> has today announced that the TV white space device (WSD) authorisation framework is “no longer available<\/em>“, which is because the only remaining company to operate a TV white space database in the UK – RED Technologies<\/strong> – has stopped offering this service.<\/p>\n

Ofcom’s Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The TV white space device (WSD) authorisation framework is no longer available.<\/p>\n

This follows RED Technologies serving notice of termination of its contract with Ofcom<\/a>. RED Technologies was the only remaining operator of TV white space databases in the UK. This means that automatically configurable WSDs can no longer operate on a licence exempt basis and that we will not issue any more licences for manually configurable white space devices (MCWSDs).<\/p>\n

We plan to revoke the Licence Exemption Regulations for WSDs (the Wireless Telegraphy (White Space Devices)(Exemption) Regulations 2015).<\/p>\n

As we said in our latest spectrum management strategy, we continue to explore ways in which different technical solutions, including databases, can support more spectrum sharing in the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At present it’s unclear whether any remaining TVWS based wireless broadband networks are still operating in the UK (we haven’t seen any updates in years). But if they are, then it would appear as if they may struggle to maintain that functionality for very long. We should point out that this also impacts other WSD uses too, such as sensors and media connectivity devices etc.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4:46pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ofcom has confirmed that there were no live licences at the time of closure of the last database, and that the database provider reported no active licence-exempt devices at the time of closure. “Accordingly, we believe that there were not any authorised networks remaining in operation under the framework<\/em>,” said a spokesperson for Ofcom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
