1 Developments in spectrum sharing technology and applications to affordable connectivity for people and things 8 th September 2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited

2 There is a mismatch between innovation potential and spectrum management.. 8 September 2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 2

3 Capacity requires spectrum superhighways Increasing capacity means opening wider bands But it s expensive and time consuming to clear spectrum 8 September 2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 3

4 Improving coverage also needs innovation Innovation can help lower deployment costs Dynamic spectrum sharing enables new grass-roots operators to emerge Sources: Microsoft, Broadway Partners 8 September 2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 4

5 Widespread affordable Internet connectivity could bring enormous benefits 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 5

6 Internet of Things Telemedicine / care Smart Energy Precision Agriculture Fisheries management More flexible spectrum sharing is key Spectrum access is key to wireless connectivity Spectrum is nearly fully allocated, but much remains unused in most places, most of the time New technology enables safe spectrum sharing - avoiding disruption to licensed services (e.g. through regulator-approved spectrum databases) 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 6

7 UK now has a regulatory framework in operation ECC Report 236 ETSI Based on PAWS ECC Report 159

8 Dynamic Spectrum sharing has been gaining ground 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 8

9 TV white spaces first DSA application The first DSA implementations have targeted TV bands, for affordable coverage They offer worldwide harmonisation potential Wi-Fi, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 5 GHz TV White Spaces, 600 MHz Source: BT Innovate & Design 8 September 2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 9

10 What are TV white spaces? Geolocation Database Apply dynamic sharing, which gives access to unused spectrum (white spaces) in the terrestrial TV bands This capacity can be tapped by a new generation of Wi-Fi, with much greater reach (sometimes called Super Wi-Fi (IEEE af) If we can use TVWS to deliver affordable connectivity for the last 4 billion, in rural Africa etc., then we can do it in Wales. Source: Ofcom 8 September 2016 BBC Newsnight clip Larkhill Consultancy Limited 10

11 Regulatory progress around the world has encouraged significant investment in TV white spaces technology Opening up affordable connectivity for people & things Addition of 3.5 GHz band to the DSA pool provides further encouragement 1 st /2nd Generation WSD 3rd Generation WSD < 20 Mbps ~100 Mbps 1 channel 4 channels IEEE af + IEEE /07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 11

12 Up to 300 TVWS networks in 35 countries 2016 Dynamic Spectrum Alliance

18 Ferries in Orkney 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 18

19 Arran first commercial broadband in Europe using TV white spaces The island, known as Scotland in Miniature, is a perfect location to start with the technology. Hilly and wooded terrain have not yielded to other approaches 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 19

20 Kenya connecting rural classrooms Bucket Fi video 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 20

21 Bhutan connecting up remote health clinics Dynamic Spectrum Alliance 14/07/

22 Philippines Fishing communities and schools have benefited from TVWS networks 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 22

23 Jamaica connected nation 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 23

24 In Summary Enhancing coverage as well as capacity requires innovative approaches to accessing spectrum New dynamic spectrum sharing technology is able to harness unused spectrum to extend coverage and enable affordable access for people and things (IoT) Applications of DSA/TVWS around the world have demonstrated the benefits to rural and urban communities In the UK, Broadway Partners has developed a commercial model for applying TVWS technology in a hybrid infrastructure working with Nominet, Microsoft and the University of Strathclyde 14/07/2016 Larkhill Consultancy Limited 24
