Enables 870 to 876 MHz Spectrum Band Use On a
License Exempt Basis, Unlocks More Opportunity for the Internet of
Things
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE:SSNI) today congratulated
Ofcom for its amendments to the UK’s Wireless Telegraphy Act, which
will allow for commercial operations at 870 to 876 MHz on a license
exempt basis and go into effect on June 27, 2014. The decision from
Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for the
UK communications industries, opens the frequency bands for new
machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things applications that
unlock greater economic and societal opportunities in the UK.
License-exempt spectrum eliminates the prohibitively high costs of
existing exclusionary solutions and ensures that high-performing,
dedicated, and secure Internet of Things networks can be quickly
deployed for the benefit of all UK citizens.
Countries around the world have prioritized the deployment of
smart digital infrastructure as a means to improve quality of life
and competitiveness, but many have found the lack of effective
networking technologies a barrier to implementation. Ofcom’s move
to adopt the new European framework will afford participants in the
UK the same resources as the US, Canada, and most other industrial
nations that allow the leveraging of license-exempt spectrum to
benefit citizens through lower costs and improved system
performance.
Working with some of the world’s leading smart energy and smart
city programmes, Silver Spring Networks has already connected more
than 18.5 million critical infrastructure devices such as smart
energy meters, smart thermostats, renewable energy generators,
networked street lights, and traffic control systems.
“We applaud the release of this spectrum by Ofcom which will
help accelerate social and economic benefits for UK citizens and
helps to provide a basis for Internet of Things applications such
as energy resource management, smart energy and smart water,
adaptive street lighting, environmental sensors, and intelligent
transport networks that help modernize the UK’s essential citizen
services,” said Mark Coyle, Managing Director for the UK &
Ireland, Silver Spring Networks. “These types of machine-to-machine
networks give the UK an opportunity to establish a technology
foundation for its ongoing environmental sustainability, energy
efficiency, and smart city leadership.”
“We are excited to continue working with a range of cities,
energy companies, and our broad ecosystem to modernize the UK’s
critical infrastructure and bring the benefits of the Internet of
Things to meet the needs of our existing and future customers,” Mr.
Coyle continued.
Earlier this year the CEPT, the organization that represents the
national regulatory authorities for 48 European countries,
published a framework for license-exempt spectrum availability for
a variety of machine-to-machine, smart grid, and smart city
wireless networks, among others. The UK is the first individual
member state to publish updated regulations allowing license exempt
spectrum for broad commercial use for these networks under the
CEPT’s new framework.
