Review of the 2.5 GHz band spectrum licence technical framework

The issue

The 2.5 GHz band is an important band for wireless broadband services. However, aspects of the technical framework are not optimised for the use of advanced antenna systems and newer technologies such as 5G.

We want your feedback on proposed changes to the technical framework for 2.5 GHz band spectrum licences, including changes to in-band and unwanted emission limits, and advisory guidelines.

The proposed changes to the technical framework are detailed in the consultation paper in the key documents section.
