Ofcom has today published a statement setting out its decision to release the 870-876 MHz and 915-921 MHz spectrum bands on a licence exempt basis, following a consultation in January 2013. The released spectrum will be used by Short Range Devices and Radio Frequency Identification. A further consultation on the technical details of the licence exemption will follow in the autumn.
