Ofcom issues decision updating technical conditions for 800MHz licences

Ofcom has today amended the technical conditions for spectrum licences in the 800 MHz band, which could help mobile companies improve the coverage and capacity of their networks.

Following consultation, we have decided to allow licensees to transmit at higher powers, which will align their conditions with those in place for the recently awarded 700 MHz band.

We have also introduced measures to ensure operators resolve any potential interference with Digital Terrestrial Television viewers.

Licensees that wish to take advantage of these changes can apply to Ofcom for a variation of their licence. SAR News
