• Methodology
• LE bands, applications and devices
• Scope
• Approach
• Initial outcomes

Study context

Key contextual issues include:-

• Usage of equipment in licence-exempt bands is increasing, bringing

economic and social benefits, but there is little data on actual usage and no protection for users;

• RSPP and Commission Communication “Promoting shared use of

radio resources” identify goal to ensure sufficient harmonised LE spectrum (incl. SRD bands and 2.4/5GHz);

• The results should support the implementation of the Article 9

"Inventory" of the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (RSPP) by developing a reliable approximation approach to assess the medium and long-term spectrum usage densities in harmonised license-exempt frequency bands;

• EU-US free trade negotiations in context of context of TTIP cover radio

equipment, giving rise to potential trans-Atlantic scale economies.

4

Study Objectives

The overall objective of the study is to enable a better understanding of the use of harmonised licence-exempt frequency bands by different categories of radio equipment in Europe. Operational objectives include:-

• Assess density of current Europe usage of harmonised licence-

exempt spectrum bands;

• Create proxy-based medium- and long-term forecasts of Europe

usage density in LE bands;

• Determine LE spectrum required to support such usage compared

with current levels;

• Compare Europe and US LE equipment volumes and spectrum

allocation policies in common bands.

Regulatory framework

• EC and ECC decisions were considered
• EC Decisions are compulsory legal requirements for national regulatory authorities to implement in line

with specific technical and regulatory conditions of the technical annex contained within the EC Decision.

• ECC Decisions are not binding legal requirements but rather recommendations by the European

Communications Committee that National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) are strongly urged to follow. They provide measures on significant harmonisation matters, are normally implemented by CEPT member NRAs.

• There could be cases in which bands are licence exempt but do not fall within the EC or ECC Decision

framework – but none located so far
