  2. Disclaimer • This presentation is provided to provoke thought and discussion • The figures given in here are based on one set of assumptions and are provided for illustrative purposes • Where a different set of assumptions made then the results would also differ

  3. Content: • Current Situation in UK • Spectrum Environment • Future • Benefits • Questions

  4. Current UK Situation Spectrum Access

  5. Spectrum Cost • Total Income  £1 million

  6. Spectrum Environment • Ever Increasing Demand for Spectrum • Commercial Value being Placed on Spectrum • Open and Transparent Process • Recognised need for Safety Services • Realistic protection levels • Spectrally efficient • Amount of Spectrum needed per service • Avoid un-necessary duplication of systems

  7. Future What Might Happens if we are Not Efficient?

  8. Future, Market CostBenchmark • Spectrum Pricing • Administrative • Commercial • Mobile Phones • £23 Billion • 140 MHz • 20 Years • UK Land mass = 244,820 km2 • £33.49 MHz/Km2/Year

  9. Future,Market Cost 2Assumptions for Aviation • Realistic price = 1/5 Mobile Phone • Costs levied on the ground infrastructure • Ground Station cost is based on the ground footprint of the service volume • Aircraft remain administratively priced

  10. Future, Market Cost 3Ground Station Licence 1 25 kHz VHF Communications

  11. Future, Market Cost 4 Ground Station Licence 2 Navigation and Surveillance

  12. FutureAvoid Commercial Cost • Demonstrate that we are minimising spectrum requirement. • Spectrum assigned  Spectrum required • Are the planning rules over conservative? • Do we still need hard pairing ? • Do we use the whole band? • Can we do with less? • Avoid un-necessary duplication of systems • Do we need both ILS and MLS as landing aids? • Do we need NDB, VOR, DME, GNSS & INRS for en-route navigation? • Do we need 23cm & 10 cm Radar?

  13. Make decisions and stick to them • Implement system changes in accordance with agreed time schedule

  14. Future What Benefits? • Reduced cost of infrastructure • Less on-board co-site issues • Reduced cost of aircraft fit • Reduced maintenance costs • Known timescales for implementation • Credibility

  15. Questions?
