The UK communications and media regulator, Ofcom<\/a>, has today begun seeking feedback on the potential and demand for satellites, aircraft and other airborne platforms to help improve mobile (4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a>) network coverage – also known as Direct to Device (D2D) and Mobile-Satellite<\/a> Services (MSS).<\/p>\n

The timing of this ‘Call for Input<\/a><\/strong>‘ is rather handy as it comes on the same day as we wrote a related piece about the new service being developed by Stratospheric Platforms<\/a> (here<\/a>), which could in the future deliver a 5G<\/a> broadband service via an unmanned aircraft.<\/p>\n

PICTURED:<\/strong> The AST Space Mobile and Vodafone<\/a> backed BlueWalker 3 satellite<\/a> in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).<\/div>\n

Not to mention the satellite<\/a> broadband based services being developed by Starlink<\/a> (Direct to Cell), OneWeb<\/a> (Eutelsat<\/a>), AST SpaceMobile<\/a> and others that can directly connect to unmodified consumer Smartphones via regular mobile spectrum bands. In fact some phones, like the latest iPhone<\/strong> series from Apple, already have a very basic emergency communication system that can work via satellite.<\/p>\n

Services like this have the potential to improve connectivity in the UK by extending mobile coverage and providing a degree of back-up connectivity when there are outages on the terrestrial networks. In addition, MSS solutions have enabled the development of the European Aviation Network (EAN), a variety of emergency services, and provide connectivity for location trackers and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.<\/p>\n

However, all of this could create new demands on radio spectrum, which is a limited resource and thus Ofcom<\/a> are now considering whether to develop new specific authorisation proposals for this type of spectrum access.<\/p>\n

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

In this document we are seeking stakeholder views on the potential supply of, and demand for, direct to device services (D2D) and MSS in the UK, and the associated spectrum needs. We also set out our initial thinking on the implications for how we manage spectrum that these services might use.<\/p>\n

We are seeking views from stakeholders on:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The interest in offering D2D services in the UK, delivered by satellites or airborne platforms;<\/p>\n

\u2022 The potential demand for spectrum to support D2D services;<\/p>\n

\u2022 The potential for new technology developments to improve spectrum sharing between D2D services and spectrum sharing between D2D services and existing spectrum users; and<\/p>\n

\u2022 Potential demand changes for Mobile-satellite service (MSS) spectrum for existing, or developing, mobile satellite services (such as the European Aviation Network and IoT applications).<\/p>\n

\u2022 The role that High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) might play in delivering D2D type mobile services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The call for input closes on 13th September 2024 and Ofcom then plans a further publication on their next steps in Q4 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
