 PMR 446 in Ofcom consultation

Ofcom has published a consultation on plans to make regulations that
will amend the existing Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 licence exemption
criteria for some wireless devices

Most people will interact with licence-exempt, low-power, wireless
devices in an average day – from Wi-Fi routers to car key-fobs and
wireless doorbells.

The proposals follow regular Ofcom reviews and are intended to reflect
technical developments. In particular, the consultation proposes some
minor changes to the existing exemption criteria for the following
devices:

• Personal Mobile Radio (PMR) 446 – liberalising the use of this band
(446.0 to 446.2 MHz) by removing analogue and digital demarcations
from the frequency bands;
• Railway Level Crossing Radar – replacing the current ‘exclusion
zones’ surrounding Radio Astronomy sites with ‘coordination zones’;
and
• Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) equipment –
reclassifying the technical requirements, currently classed as
Cordless Telephony, to Short Range Devices.

The consultation closes on September 20, 2015.
