•        This consultation sets out our proposals for increasing the amount of radio spectrum available for Wi-Fi in the 5 GHz band to deliver high speed wireless broadband for consumers.

•        Wi-Fi is one of the UK’s most important vehicles for communications, commerce and entertainment. 85% of the UK’s 27 million households have a broadband connection. Virtually all of these households use Wi-Fi to provide the final link between their home broadband router and the various wireless devices in their homes.

•        We have a specific short-term focus on the 5725-5850 MHz band…

•        Re-examining the technical requirements for Wi-Fi

–       Removing outdoor restrictions on Wi-Fi access to the 5150-5350 MHz range

–       Retaining the longer term objective of opening up spectrum if possible at 5350-5470 MHz and 5850-5925 MHz
