Ofcom’s 700MHz band clearance has been confirmed and you have until 26th April 2019 to apply for funding for new equipment.
To clear the 700 MHz band for new mobile data services, PMSE users will cease to have access to the 703 to 790 MHz band from 1 May 2020 – 18 months earlier than previously indicated.
The UK Government has decided to fund a grant scheme to support PMSE equipment owners that have to vacate the 700 MHz band earlier than expected.
Clearance won’t officially come in to play until 29th May 2020, but all registrations for PMSE equipment government’s compensation must be done by the April 2019 deadline.
If you have any wireless microphone or in-ear monitoring systems that can currently operate within the 700MHz band and ‘Guard Band’ (694-790MHz), you could be eligible for the compensation scheme.
Other than the ability to operate in the 700MHz band there are a few additional stipulations for eligibility:
