On January 16, 2018 the UK Government published regulation Wireless Telegraphy (Ultra-Wideband Equipment) (Exemption) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 and shall come into force on February 6, 2018.
These regulations give effect to Commission Decision 2017/1438(a) amending Decision 2007/131/EC and allowing the use of radio spectrum equipment using ultra wide-band technology in a harmonized manner with the Community. The Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Ultra-Wideband Equipment) (Exemption) Regulations 2015, which exempt the establishment, installation or use of equipment using ultra wide-band technology from the requirement to be licensed under section 8(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (c.36) (“the Act”). The amendments change the harmonized European Telecommunications Standards Institute (“ETSI”) standards which are referred to in the principal Regulations.
