  1. “WirelessMAN”UK Position BWA >11GHz Andy Gowanson behalf of Stephen TalbotPrincipal EngineerBroadband Fixed Wireless Access28 & 40 GHzUK Radiocommunications Agency Andy Gowans - UK RA

  2. Broadband FWA > 11GHz  26 GHz Not available - Used for Mobile Infrastructure Point to Point links only 28 GHz (UK’s “26 GHz” Band) 2nd Award just closed (Oct 14th, 2002) Spectrum block, area assigned 16 of the 42 Licenses Awarded 32 GHz (31.8 - 33.4 GHz) Top third for P-P links, assigned by RA Decision pending on remaining two thirds Andy Gowans - UK RA

  3. Broadband FWA > 11GHz ‚ 38 GHz Point to Point links, RA assigned Any service delivery, backhaul or access Some used for BWA delivery Assigned on a per link basis by RA 58 GHz 57.1 - 58.9 GHz Point to Point links, licence exempt Licence exemption order: 12th February 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA

  4. 28 GHz (UK/CEPT) 28.0525 - 28.4445 & 29.0606 - 29.4525 GHz Drawn from CEPT decision ECC/DEC(00)09 Aligned through CEPT, 17 States “YES” UK 3 licences in 14 Regions (2 x 112 MHz each) 28 GHz (US) 27.5-28.35 GHz paired with 29.1-29.25 GHz, 31.075-31.225 GHz US and UK/CEPT allocations do not align “Teledesic” band overlaps UK/CEPT plan Spectrum Detail 28 GHz  Andy Gowans - UK RA

  5. Architecture Technology neutral FDD or TDD Point to Point, P-MP and Mesh Service delivery Originally only “Access”, no 3rd party backhaul Licence changes recently, to allow backhaul Spectrum Trading 28 GHz licensees maybe one of first First stages of trading 2004, much work to complete Spectrum Detail 28 GHz ‚ Andy Gowans - UK RA

  7. Licence Detail 28 GHz • Auction Reserve Prices • £2,000,000 • Region D Isle of Wight, Hampshire, Berks and Oxon - 3 available • Region E Essex, Herts and Bucks - 3 available • Region F Suffolk, Norfolk, Beds, Cambs and Northants - 3 available • Region G Derbyshire, Lincolnshire (part), Leics, Notts, and Rutland - 3 available • Region H Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex - 3 available • Region I Yorkshire and North and North-East Lincolnshire - 1 available • £1,000,000 • Region J Cumbria, Lancashire and NE England - 2 available • Region K Wiltshire and Gloucestershire and SW England - 3 available • Region L Scotland - 2 available • Region M Wales - 3 available • £100,000 • Region N Northern Ireland - 1 available Andy Gowans - UK RA

  8. Remaining licence packages (26 of 42) Smaller areas, on UK Counties, Operator defines area and Individual planning and licensing of “base” stations? Industry Views so far “Retain technology neutrality” “Retain, inter-operator co-operation” “Reserve prices?” consultation closes 21st March Next award towards Q3 of 2003 28 GHz Consultation on “Next Steps” Andy Gowans - UK RA

  9. Spectrum Detail 28 GHz ƒ Andy Gowans - UK RA

  10. 42 GHz (40.5 - 43.5 GHz) Originally: Broadcasting - MVDS Originally: Extension for Cable operators Originally: One way, analogue limited digital Changes In Focus Data Access - “Two-Way” Internet, Data, Video on Demand? All 3GHz “up for grabs” Award plans being formed over next 18 months Spectrum Detail 42 GHz  Andy Gowans - UK RA

  11. Considerations for award CEPT ECC/DEC(99)15 - MWS “Defined” CEPT ECC/REC(01)04 - Allocation “Style” CEPT ECC/DEC(02)04 - FSS Terminals EU Licensing Directive “Fair and Open” Technology Neutral Larger market for Vendors and Operators RA committed to all factors Spectrum Detail 42 GHz ‚ Andy Gowans - UK RA

  12. 2002 Discussions with industry initiated by the RA, regarding the use of 40.5 - 43.5 GHz UK Position on 40.5 - 43.5 GHz“The History” Andy Gowans - UK RA

  13. Industry invited to Give view Potential Operators Vendors Content Providers Current 28 GHz licensees Questions Asked What is your interests in BFWA at 42 GHz? Equipment costs and availability? Licensing arrangements? License conditions? UK Discussions - 42 GHz Andy Gowans - UK RA

  14. Licenses Should be for 15 - 20 years Renewable and payable by instalments Be a mix of National and Regional No restrictions on traffic carried (backhaul) Pioneer licenses? Technology All types allowed None to be proscribed Industry Told Us Andy Gowans - UK RA

  15. Spectrum Packages: 250MHz minimum(500MHz ideal) Some support for contiguous blocks(TDD vendors) No coverage obligations…but Safeguards against “Spectrum Hoarding” Services Bundled services, to maximise revenue Industry Told Us Andy Gowans - UK RA

  16. Market SME’s and Medium size businesses, first Then, in time, residential but this is “key” Time-scales Some (not all) felt too early for award “Market not ready for more spectrum” Consultation should be published in 2003 Agency then to publish time-table Market then ready, around 2005 Industry Told Us Andy Gowans - UK RA

  17. NO IEEE 802 VIEW RECEIVED. ALTHOUGH CONSULTATION CLOSED AGENCY WOULD LOOK AT ANY INPUT TO THE PROCESS. IEEE 802 view ? Andy Gowans - UK RA

  18. Global Considerations CEPT/European position clear for band World Radio Conference 2003 (June) US proposal for 40 - 42 GHzGlobal Satellite “HDFSS”ONLY?HDFSS = High Density Fixed Satellite Service Radio Astronomy Service UK has strong interest Two UK RAS sites require protection Two ITU-Recommendations (UK inputs)considered by RAS ITU-R Study Groups Spectrum Issues at 42 GHz Andy Gowans - UK RA

  19. Professor Cave“Independent Spectrum Review 2002” Auctions encouraged Spectrum Trading No roll out obligations, No service restrictions Technology Neutral Competition Issues - Monitored RA agreed with majority of recommendations Spectrum Allocations - UK Andy Gowans - UK RA
