The regulatory spectrum sandboxes were a 12-month, £5 million
DSIT funded initiative that brought together industry and
academia in defined areas to explore how different spectrum
applications and systems could coexist.
Participants considered different approaches and mechanisms for
sharing spectrum, examining how these could potentially foster
quicker and more innovative sharing.
Each sandbox project explored enhanced spectrum sharing through
three work packages:
1. Practical testbeds: Collected field
measurements and compared system performance under conventional
and intensive sharing.
2. Simulation and modelling: Assessed the
applicability of sharing solutions across different parameters,
locations, frequencies, and technologies.
3. Economic and regulatory assessment: Evaluated
the economic value of sharing solutions and suggested regulatory
mechanisms and tools.
The spectrum sandboxes were led by Real Wireless, Durham
University and Queen Mary University of London.
Spectrum is the lifeblood of wireless technology. As technology
advances and more devices are connected there is increasing
pressure on this finite resource. Facilitating more intensive
spectrum sharing will ensure we are making the most of the
spectrum and will open up spectrum for future connectivity,
helping to unlock our connectivity ambitions, and support
economic growth across the country.
