licence exemption criteria for some wireless devices

Today’s amendments follows regular Ofcom reviews and reflects
technical developments. In particular, the amendments include 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.
