The increasing use of wireless connectivity across different sectors, and developments in technology leading to new and innovative applications, are driving demand for spectrum and prompting an examination of how best to manage this finite resource. Following the publication of Ofcom’s Spectrum Management Strategy in July, this event will explore how innovation in wireless networking might evolve over the next decade and consider the new and emerging spectrum management technologies and techniques that might help regulators keep pace.
Agenda:
- Ofcom introduction
