On 24 June, the European Commission's Radio Spectrum Policy Group launched a public consultation on "Wireless Access Platforms for Electronic Communications Services" (WAPECS).
WAPECS is a generic term suited to a "technology neutral" approach to spectrum management, and it has emerged as a central theme in RSPG's work programme for 2005-6.
The consultation document defines WAPECS as "the platforms used for radio access to electronic communications services, regardless of the bands in which they operate, or the technology they use." However, a recent survey of EU member countries found that "a wide range of frequency bands was identified for WAPECS, the majority being for licence-exempt operation."
The 20-page consultation document can be downloaded here.
"Comments received, from both Member States and other interested parties, will be considered in developing an RSPG Opinion on WAPECS. The intention is to develop a draft Opinion for consideration by the RSPG at its next meeting in late November 2005."
Comments should be sent via email to infso-rspg[at]cec.eu.int by 15 September 2005.
