In Inter erne net t of T f Thi hing ngs

Internet of Things (“IoT”) systems enable interconnected devices to generate, exchange and consume data with built-in intelligence, with/without human intervention

  • Low Power Wide Area Network (“LPWAN”)
  • 4G technology - Narrowband IoT
  • 5G technology - massive deployment of IoT devices

with higher speed (> 1 Gbps) and lower latency IoT will be used in automatic control, vehicles, smart city applications, virtual reality applications, etc.

 To facilitate development of new wireless IoT (“WIoT”) service using LPWAN, a

new Wireless Internet of Things Licence (“WIoT Licence”) is proposed with

 lower level of licence fee  less stringent regulation

as compared with existing Unified Carrier Licence (“UCL”) for facilities-based mobile services

 At present, Mobile Network Operators can provide WIoT services using

cellular mobile technologies (such as Narrowband IoT in 4G LTE) operating with the frequency spectrum assigned under their existing UCLs

slide-16
SLIDE 16

OFCA is mindful of the need to further review and streamline the licensing regimes for provision of the new WIoT services subject to the market development and implementation experience in Hong Kong

Salient features of the proposed WIoT Licence

  • Applicable to WIoT services based on LPWAN technology using licence

exempt frequency band such as 920 - 925 MHz

  • Enable automated data communications to and/or from IoT installations,

apparatus, equipment and device

  • Use of frequencies in shared basis and uncoordinated manner; not

protected from harmful interference
