News: Additional spectrum for license free fixed links

Ofcom today published proposals to open up spectrum in the 59-64 GHz band for Fixed Wireless Systems. Ofcom intends to make this spectrum licence-exempt and combine it with the existing licence-exempt 57-59 GHz band. This will allow for flexible access to this increased band, from 57-64 GHz. The consultation, which closes on the 25 September 2009, can be viewed here.
