Spectrum roadmap: Delivering Ofcom’s Spectrum Management Strategy
- Start: 31 March 2022
- Status: Closed
- End: 20 May 2022
The radio spectrum (the invisible waves that enable wireless technology) is a finite resource crucial to delivering a wide range of wireless applications benefiting different users, and Ofcom has the job of ensuring it is used in the best interests of all in the UK. This approach sits at the heart of Ofcom’s mission to make communications work for everyone.
Wireless communication is playing an increasingly significant role across many sectors of the economy, delivering our news, connecting us to friends and family, automating factories, supporting public services and monitoring the natural environment.
Technological developments are enabling new and innovative applications and business models, meaning more people and organisations are making use of wireless technology. In the face of this growing and, in many cases, competing demand for spectrum, Ofcom set out a new Spectrum Management Strategy in July 2021.
In this Spectrum roadmap, we outline the work we are planning to deliver on this strategy, both through our current projects (as outlined in the Plan of Work 2022-23) and proposed future areas of work.
