DUBLIN, Ireland—Ireland’s telecom regulator ODTR said it is introducing new licensing regimes for fixed wireless access (FWA). The regulators plans to provide a system for local and regional licensing in the 10.5 GHz band and make available additional spectrum for license-exempt wireless local area networks in the 5.8 GHz band.
The initiatives are aimed at enabling fast and flexible rollout of wireless access to encourage increased availability of broadband services.
The regulator is also considering designating part of the 26 GHz band review spectrum for point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint applications, fixed wireless access or other services. The licensing plan for such systems will be developed shortly, the agency said.
