Recognised Spectrum Access as applied to Radio Astronomy

Summary

What this Statement covers

This Statement presents the conclusions following a consultation which proposed applying Recognised Spectrum Access (RSA) to radio astronomy. The public consultation was published on 6 April 2005 and is available electronically on Ofcom’s Website.

This Statement sets out Ofcom’s policy decisions in respect of the proposals highlighted within the consultation.

Ofcom would like to reiterate that this Statement and the preceding consultation relate only to the introduction of RSA for spectrum used by radio astronomy. Work is being undertaken separately in relation to the introduction of RSA for satellite (and other) services and this will be the subject of a separate consultation.
