The Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 requires that wireless telegraphy stations or apparatus are either authorised via a licence or made licence exempt by regulations.
This document confirms Ofcom’s decision to make minor amendments to the regulations. The changes enable the use of the 870 to 876 MHz and 915 to 921 MHz spectrum bands for Short Range Devices; land-based use of Earth Stations on Moving Platforms, to enable the delivery of broadband services on trains and coaches, and two different Amplitude Modulation modes of operation to be used for Citizens’ Band Radio on a licence exempt basis.
These regulations will come into force on 27 June 2014.
