slide-6
SLIDE 6

Enabling growth in satellite broadband

5

  • Better fixed broadband
  • ptions
  • Better broadband on

aircraft and on ships

  • Liberalise
  • Efficient use of existing

bands in UK

  • Monitor demand
  • Additional spectrum?

Satellite Broadband:

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Efficient use of existing bands

8

Efficient use of Ka band in UK

(17.3-17.7, 17.7-19.7 GHz, 27.5-30 GHz)

  • No immediate action

needed Efficient use of Ku band in UK

(14.25-14.5 GHz)

Satellite Broadband:

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Additional spectrum?

9

Consider authorisation of V band feeder links

  • After WRC-19 (Following

AI 1.13 studies) Satellite broadband update if necessary

  • ~ 2018

Satellite Broadband:

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Enabling earth observation (EO) growth

10

  • Greater economic &

environmental benefits

  • Supporting wide range
  • f new EO based

applications

  • Spectrum needs of small satellites for TT&C
  • EO data downlink, ROES in the 8 GHz band
  • Access to bands for remote passive sensing
slide-12
SLIDE 12

Spectrum needs of small satellites for TT&C

11

Identify suitable spectrum for small satellites TT&C Review / update UK licensing in light of WRC-19 (Long term solution)

  • WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.7
  • 2020

Working with public sector bodies re access to spectrum for TT&C (short term solutions)

  • 2017 and on-going

Earth Observation:

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Data downlink

12

Consult on implementation

  • f RSA for Receive Only

Earth Stations in 8025-8400 MHz

  • Q3/4 2017

Earth Observation:

Consult on pioneer bands for 5G, including 26GHz

  • Q2 2017
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Access to bands for remote sensing

13

New work item on Improvement to EESS sensor filtering Potentially leading to ITU-R report/Recommendation

  • Proposal to ITU-R Study

Group 7 (April 2017)

  • 2017-2019

Take appropriate care before introducing new services

  • Contribute to CEPT/ITU

studies e.g. 5G and science use at 26 GHz

  • 2017-2019

Earth Observation:

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Other benefits

Particular growth areas include:

  • Higher resolution broadcast TV
  • Satellite navigation and

positioning

  • Machine-to-machine (M2M)

communications / ‘Internet of things’ (IoT)

  • Safety-related communications

14

Wide range of other benefits, including space research and radio astronomy

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Existing benefits and new uses

15

  • Growing and competing demands
  • Informed policy decisions

– Understand existing use & benefits – Careful consideration of coexistence

  • Taking enforcement action where necessary
  • Support pro-active investigation of sharing
  • pportunities

Earth station authorisation

NGSO earth station authorisation

  • extension of licences to cover use with

non-geostationary satellites

  • software implementation due early 2017

Ongoing programme to update licence products and improve the efficiency of processes

Transportable Earth Station (TES)

  • relaxation of clearance near airports
  • software implementation due early 2017

NGSO earth station authorisation

  • extension of licences to cover use with

non-geostationary satellites

  • software implementation due early 2017

Earth station authorisation

Website guidance We plan to improve our online licensing information, e.g.:

  • regulatory and technical information
  • guidance notes and FAQs
  • links to other related information

Licensing software upgrades

  • improves efficiency
  • more user friendly online portal
  • e-licensing for some licences
  • basic online capability for managing

earth station licences

  • extension of e-licensing to other

licences? Website guidance Plan to improve online licensing information, e.g.:

  • regulatory and technical information
  • guidance notes and FAQs
  • links to other related information

Information on spectrum regulation and use

Space Spectrum Interactive Data

  • allocations, licence products, actual use
  • will keep as a snapshot in time

Continue to improve information about spectrum regulation and use

UK Spectrum Map

  • frequency band usage, types of licence

and applications

  • possible update to increase usability

Existing tools: Space Spectrum Interactive Data

  • allocations, licence products, actual use
  • will keep as a snapshot in time

Information on spectrum regulation and use

UK Plan for Frequency Authorisation (PFA)

  • availability of licence product by

frequency band

  • possible integration into new interactive

tool

Existing tools:

Wireless Telegraphy Register (WTR)

  • information on who is licensed in each

frequency band

  • possible integration into new interactive

tool UK Frequency Allocation Table (FAT)

  • 2017 update to be published soon
  • new format and structure

Information on spectrum regulation and use

Integrated tool on spectrum information

  • considering new tool which combines

elements of the FAT / PFA / WTR

New tools in the pipeline:

Space science spectrum use

  • information on typical space science

applications by frequency band
