Ofcom<\/a> has today launched a new consultation that proposes to exempt lots of additional devices (equipment) from needing a wireless telegraphy licence, such as 5G<\/a> handsets and dongles on an aircraft or ship and 5.8 GHz (5725-5850 MHz) Fixed Wireless Access kit – used by many wireless broadband ISPs to offer rural connectivity.<\/p>\n

Under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006, the regulator can grant licences for the use of radio frequencies. This is to “ensure spectrum is used efficiently and to prevent interference<\/em>“, but not all devices that use radio spectrum necessarily need a licence.<\/p>\n

“Exemptions support economic growth by reducing the regulatory burden on manufacturers and users of innovative new wireless technologies. We periodically review our licence exemptions to reflect changes in technology and usage<\/em>,” said Ofcom<\/a> before outlining the changes they intend to make.<\/p>\n

Ofcom’s Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are consulting on proposals to introduce new licence exempt use of some equipment and amend the current technical conditions that apply to existing licence exemptions. The proposed changes fall into two primary categories, as set out below:<\/p>\n

Exemptions to harmonise the conditions of use of certain equipment in the UK with other countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under this category, we propose to either introduce a new exemption or make amendments to an existing one in relation to the following equipment:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mobile Communications onboard Aircraft (MCAs) and Vessels (MCVs) \u2013we propose to amend the existing licence exemptions to enable the use of 5G<\/a> terminals (handsets and dongles) connecting to a dedicated mobile base station on an aircraft or ship.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Short Range Devices (SRDs) \u2013 we propose to introduce new licence exemptions for use of additional SRD equipment and to amend existing licence exemption rules for a range of SRDs. The proposals affect some indoor security scanners; audio Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) devices; inductive (Radio Frequency Inductive Device) RFID systems; active medical implants; assistive listening devices; low duty cycle \/ high reliability devices; transport and traffic telematics devices; and the non-specific SRD category of devices.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) \u2013 we propose to introduce new licence exemptions and amend existing ones for operating certain UWB equipment. These proposals affect location tracking devices (e.g. for parking management, home security and access control systems), general vehicle applications (e.g. for use at high density road crossings) and indoor only applications (e.g. tracing people within buildings) in the 6-8.5 GHz frequency band, and existing rules for generic UWB devices.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Autonomous maritime radio devices (AMRDs) \u2013 we propose to introduce a new licence exemption for use of AMRD equipment categorised as \u2018Group B\u2019 equipment where this uses a specific channel. These devices alert other users of their presence and can include diver and fishing net locating devices.<\/p>\n

Exemptions identified by Ofcom through our simplification programme of work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have identified a number of areas where we think we could simplify how we authorise some equipment. Under this category, we propose to introduce either a new exemption or make amendments to an existing one in relation to the following equipment:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Coastal Station Radio (Training School) \u2013 we propose to introduce a new licence exemption for use of these very low power indoor systems used for training purposes. Training schools would still be required to abide by the existing technical conditions of operation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Testing and Development Under Suppressed Radiation Conditions \u2013 we propose to amend the existing licence exemption to increase the spectrum ceiling from 960 MHz to 275 GHz. This change would remove the need for some users to obtain an Innovation and Trial licence when testing or developing equipment in an indoor, suppressed environment at specified power levels.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Amateur Radio Full (Temporary Reciprocal) \u2013 we propose to introduce a new licence exemption for short-term use of Radio Amateur equipment by Radio Amateurs visiting from countries that are not covered by the CEPT Recommendation T\/R 61-02, but with whom the UK has a bilateral reciprocal agreement.<\/p>\n

\u2022 5.8 GHz (5725-5850 MHz) Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) \u2013 we propose to introduce a new licence exemption for use of this equipment. Operators of the equipment would still need to comply with the existing technical conditions set out in IR 2007.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ofcom are now taking comments on these proposals until 5pm on Friday 28th March 2025 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
