The Australian Communications and Media Authority has
identified additional spectrum that could potentially be used to support future
wireless access services in Australia.
The ACMA has been on the hunt for spectrum that could be
used to deliver wireless broadband services since submissions to the discussion
paper "Strategies for Wireless Access Services" released in February this year
indicated there was unmet demand in regional Australia.
The potential spectrum its considering is:
Short term: 1785-1805 MHz in regional and remote areas
Medium term: 2500-2690 MHz and 3575-3710 MHz
Longer term: 520-820 MHz
As part of its ongoing consultation process, ACMA has
released a second discussion paper, "Strategies for Wireless Access Services:
Spectrum Access Options".
ACMA will also host RadComms 2006 , at the Australian National
Maritime Museum,
Sydney next
week to give stakeholders an opportunity to comment spectrum issues.
‘This very important discussion paper examines the demand
for future wireless access services and summarises the consultation outcomes
from the previous discussion paper,' said Chris Chapman,
ACMA Chairman.
"It also seeks comments on how to best
segment and license the identified candidate bands and issues dealing with
incumbent services potentially displaced or otherwise affected by the
identification of spectrum for wireless access services," said Chapman.
