Study overview – the workshop in context Simon Saunders, Real Wireless 1
Overview • Study context and objectives • Methodology • LE bands, applications and devices • Scope • Approach • Initial outcomes 2
Study context Key contextual issues include:- • Usage of equipment in licence-exempt bands is increasing, bringing economic and social benefits, but there is little data on actual usage and no protection for users; • RSPP and Commission Communication “ Promoting shared use of radio resources ” identify goal to ensure sufficient harmonised LE spectrum (incl. SRD bands and 2.4/5GHz); • The results should support the implementation of the Article 9 "Inventory" of the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (RSPP) by developing a reliable approximation approach to assess the medium and long-term spectrum usage densities in harmonised license-exempt frequency bands; • EU-US free trade negotiations in context of context of TTIP cover radio equipment, giving rise to potential trans-Atlantic scale economies. 3
Study Objectives The overall objective of the study is to enable a better understanding of the use of harmonised licence-exempt frequency bands by different categories of radio equipment in Europe. Operational objectives include:- • Assess density of current Europe usage of harmonised licence- exempt spectrum bands; • Create proxy-based medium- and long-term forecasts of Europe usage density in LE bands; • Determine LE spectrum required to support such usage compared with current levels; • Compare Europe and US LE equipment volumes and spectrum allocation policies in common bands. 4
4 Stage Methodology Tasks Outcomes • LE bands • Equipment categories & parameters • Equipment sold in ‘06 - ’13 • Equipment in use • Proxy-based tool for equipment density by category and band • Density forecasts for next 5 years and to 2030 • Spectrum estimates by band • Identify congestion by band • US sales volumes in ‘06 - ’13 compared with Europe • Compare US LE spectrum policies with Europe 5
Timetable • The study started with an inception meeting with the European Commission on 3 rd December • December RSC initial presentation • Today ’ s industry workshop is the first of two • Interim report due in early April reflecting this workshop • Second interim report in early June • Study completion in August, followed by presentation to RSC 6

Regulatory framework • EC and ECC decisions were considered EC Decisions are compulsory legal requirements for national regulatory authorities to implement in line with specific technical and regulatory conditions of the technical annex contained within the EC Decision. ECC Decisions are not binding legal requirements but rather recommendations by the European Communications Committee that National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) are strongly urged to follow. They provide measures on significant harmonisation matters, are normally implemented by CEPT member NRAs. There could be cases in which bands are licence exempt but do not fall within the EC or ECC Decision framework – but none located so far 8
