Spectrum

Article (1)
  • Major changes planned for 400 MHz band
    The identification of a harmonised government band to facilitate interoperability between government agencies, particularly the police, security and emergency services, was one of the major proposals contained in a consultation paper presented at the RadComms conference in Sydney in April.

  • 3.6 GHz spectrum released
    The Australian Communications and Media Authority is releasing spectrum in the 3575-3700 MHz band (the 3.6 GHz band) to support the deployment of wireless access services in regional and remote areas of Australia.
  • Radio map may tune in wave of innovation
    In one of the most detailed radiofrequency mapping projects ever carried out in Britain, one technology innovator is undertaking the first Britain-wide radio spectrum monitoring for Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for British communications industries with responsibilities across TV, radio, telecoms and wireless services.
  • Averting spectrum saturation
    Mobile users want better video calls, streaming television and faster downloads, placing more demands on the limited radio spectrum available to operators. Could handsets that intelligently sense their radio environment and opportunistically grab free bandwidth be a solution?
  • Cognitive radio allows spectrum sharing
    In the event of a disaster, the emergency services have to be able to trust communication networks. But what happens if the network is overloaded or even off the air as a result of the disaster?
  • Millimetric radio may speed data transfer
    Researchers have proved the viability of a new and as yet untapped radio frequency band which will increase the speed and capacity of data transfer to wireless devices like laptops and iPods, and potentially between a home DVD player and high-definition TV.

  • Spectrum licensing review
    The Australian Communications and Media Authority has released a discussion paper as part of a review of the technical frameworks that apply to spectrum licences.
