Wireless Microphone Spectrum - 2012
Ofcom published a consultation in February 2009 which
proposed that spectrum being cleared for award as part of the UK’s digital
dividend should be extended to include channels 61-62 (790-806 MHz) and channel
69 (854-862 MHz).
Ofcom will publish a statement with its decisions in the
summer. One of the implications of these proposals, if implemented, is that
Ofcom will need to renegotiate future rights to use channels 21-60 (470-790 MHz)
for digital terrestrial television with neighbouring
countries. This will affect the configuration of interleaved spectrum available
for PMSE use. We have therefore removed the online microphone check tool for the
time being. We will reinstate it as soon as the new configuration of interleaved
spectrum is known, though this will not be before the end of 2009 at the
earliest.
