CRFS to undertake radio spectrum monitoring for Ofcom

Cambridge Radio Frequency Services (CRFS) is to undertake the first-ever UK-wide radio spectrum monitoring for the UK regulator Ofcom.

CRFS were selected by Ofcom to undertake one of the most detailed spectrum mapping projects ever conducted in the UK.

The project will enable Ofcom to begin to build a detailed picture of radio spectrum use - worth £37bn or 3% of UK GDP in the key frequency bands (100MHz to 5GHz) across the UK.

CRFS will use its purpose-built and technically-advanced RFeye© real-time spectrum monitoring system to gather the radio spectrum data.

The raw data will be collected by a small fleet of car-mounted RFeye nodes over a number of months to further populate the CRFS UK-wide spectrum utilisation database. Phase one is scheduled for completion by 31 December 2008.
