Ofcom's UWB Consultation

Ofcom has just published its reaction to the responses to the UWB Consultation.

Unfortunately, it looks like they've ignored most of the responses and decided to press on with their original plans for UWB between 3.1 and 6 GHz.

This is despite the fact that the spectrum would be better utilised if UWB were confined to 6-10 GHz. Silicon for UWB devices in this range have already been produced in Japan.

There are, however, a couple of small concessions.
A tighter roll off is proposed below 3.1 GHz and fixed outdoor deployments would be banned, although you wonder how such a ban would be enforced.
