2. Cluster 1 Terms of Reference
Overall goal:
• To promote a joined-up understanding of current and future
spectrum needs across UK users, thereby assisting in maximising associated
benefits (social and economic) and by ensuring spectrum supply can be efficiently
matched to those needs.
Specific Aims
• To identify and characterise the UK private and public sectors which have distinct
dependencies on spectrum
• To determine the current needs and usage of spectrum and associated technology
• To determine the expectations of change in sector service needs and associated
usage of spectrum
• To determine the potential level of flexibility for modes of spectrum access
amongst licenced, licence-exempt and intermediate modes (e.g. licensed shared
access, cognitive access etc.)
