This statement authorises high duty cycle Network Relay Points (NRPs) in the 870 - 873 MHz spectrum band.
NRPs are used in some networks to connect individual consumer devices together and to connect them to networks. Introducing licensing for NRPs will assist the early development of emerging Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) uses.
To assist and promote growth and innovation in the IoT and M2M as early as possible, we are making licences available, which will permit the holders to install and use these devices in the 870 - 873 MHz band.
Non-exclusive licences will available from 12 January 2015.
