[cma-l] Statement and consultation on spectrum access in the 3.6 – 3.8 GHz band

Fri Jul 28 17:53:06 BST 2017

So in addition to little portable transmitters on 900, 1800 and 2100 MHz right next to your brain, you're now going to be able to irradiate your cell tissue at 3700 MHz as well!

And you wonder why I don't?

Ofcom has today confirmed its intention<http://ofcom.cmail20.com/t/i-l-ozudhd-ptjczk-h/> to make the 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz band available for mobile use as soon as practicable.

This band has been identified by the UK and EU as part of the primary band for the rollout of 5G services. At present, the band is used by satellite earth stations for space-to-Earth reception and point-to-point fixed links. UK Broadband provides wireless broadband services using part of the band.

Today’s document also sets out our proposed approach to existing users of the band. We propose to remove current authorisations for fixed links, and no longer take registered satellite earth stations with a receive component in the 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz band into account for frequency management purposes, after an appropriate period of notice.

Our proposed approach would enable future mobile services in the 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz band to be deployed in many areas from around 2020, and nationwide by 2022.

As a result of the geographic concentration of existing users, there are many areas in which these frequencies could be used from today, for trials and pre-commercial deployments. Ofcom can make spectrum available to facilitate trials and pre-commercial deployments, including 5G, to support innovation in the UK.

We are minded to award this spectrum in 2019, combined with 700MHz spectrum. We will consult on proposals for the future award in due course.

Today’s consultation closes on 22 September.

Datganiad ac ymgynghoriad ar fynediad sbectrwm yn y band 3.6 – 3.8 GHz

Mae Ofcom heddiw wedi cadarnhau ei fwriad<http://ofcom.cmail20.com/t/i-l-ozudhd-ptjczk-k/> i ryddhau'r band 3.6GHz i 3.8GHz ar gyfer defnydd symudol cyn gynted ag y bo'n ymarferol.

Mae'r band hwn wedi cael ei nodi gan y Deyrnas Unedig a'r Undeb Ewropeaidd fel rhan o'r prif fand ar gyfer cyflwyno gwasanaethau 5G.

Ar hyn o bryd, mae'r band yn cael ei ddefnyddio gan orsafoedd daear lloeren ar gyfer derbyniad rhwng y gofod a'r Ddaear, a chysylltiadau pwynt i bwynt sefydlog. Mae UK Broadband yn darparu gwasanaethau band eang di-wifr drwy ran o'r band.

Mae'r ddogfen a gyhoeddwyd heddiw hefyd yn nodi ein dull arfaethedig o ran defnyddwyr presennol y band. Rydym yn cynnig tynnu'r awdurdodiadau presennol ar gyfer cysylltiadau sefydlog, a rhoi'r gorau i ystyried gorsafoedd daear lloeren cofrestredig â chydran derbyn yn y band 3.6GHz i 3.8GHz at ddibenion rheoli amledd.

Byddai ein dull arfaethedig yn galluogi gwasanaethau symudol yn y band 3.6GHz i 3.8GHz yn y dyfodol i gael eu cyflwyno mewn sawl ardal o tua 2020 ymlaen, ond nid yn genedlaethol o reidrwydd cyn 2022.

O ganlyniad i grynodiad daearyddol y defnyddwyr presennol, mae nifer o ardaloedd lle gellid defnyddio'r amleddau hyn heddiw, a hynny ar gyfer treialau a chyflwyno rhagfasnachol. Mae modd i Ofcom ryddhau sbectrwm i hwyluso treialau a chyflwyno rhagfasnachol, gan gynnwys 5G, er mwyn cefnogi arloesedd yn y DU.

Rydym yn bwriadu dyfarnu'r sbectrwm hwn yn 2019 ar y cyd â sbectrwm 700MHz. Byddwn yn ymgynghori ar y cynigion ar gyfer y dyfarniad i’r dyfodol maes o law.

Bydd yr ymgynghoriad hwn yn dod i ben ar 22 Medi 2017.
