Policy Tracker: National Approaches To Spectrum Sharing

Spectrum sharing has seen intense policy activity in recent years and is unusual because approaches tend to be more country-specific than in most areas of spectrum policy. In this spectrum sharing webinar we examine some of those national approaches with an expert panel of speakers:

• Martha Suarez, President of the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance
• Philip Marnick, Ofcom Spectrum Group Director, UK
• Dave Wright, President of the CBRS Alliance
• Jameson Dempsey, Government Affairs Counsel, Loon
• Patrick Van Niftrik, European Satellite Operator’s Association

The webinar will focus on three key topics:

• The Citizens Broadband Radio Service in 3.5 GHz
  This is launching in the US, but could it work elsewhere?
• UK: Sharing in existing mobile bands
  Ofcom is taking a unique approach sharing in several mobile bands: 3.8-4.2 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz, and part of 26 GHz. Why have they chosen this policy?
• Sharing in the mmWave bands.
  As  mmWave is released for 5G regulators are debating how best to share these low-propagation bands, both with other terrestrial operators and HAPS companies like Loon.

The National approaches to Spectrum Sharing webinar starts at 3 pm BST (4 pm CET; 10 am EDT) on Wed 17 June. Register here!

We will be holding a further webinar to discuss spectrum sharing in 6 GHz on July 15. More details on that to follow.
