Høringssvar over udkast til forskellige bekendtgørelser på

frekvensområdet

Med henvisning til høring over udkast til forskellige bekendtgørelser på

frekvensområdet, journalnummer 2017-5741, har vi noteret os, at udkast

til ny ”BEK om anvendelse af radiofrekvenser uden tilladelse…”, åbner

op for en række nye UHF (digitale) frekvenser til brug om bord på skibe

(maritime radiotjenester). Samtidig noterer vi os, at tilladelsen til brug af

eksisterende analoge/digitale frekvenser ikke ændres.

Vi finder det positivt, at der åbnes op for bedre udnyttelse af

frekvenserne i tråd med den teknologiske udvikling, og derfor har vi ikke

yderligere bemærkninger til denne høring.

Med venlig hilsen

EBU Response to RSPG Consultation

Draft Opinion on a long-term strategy on future spectrum needs

and use of wireless audio and video PMSE applications

The EBU thanks the RSPG for its work on a long-term spectrum strategy for PMSE, and welcomes

the opportunity to provide comments on behalf of its 73 members across 56 countries in Europe and

the surrounding region.

EBU members make extensive use of audio and video PMSE for both radio and TV broadcasting. In

activities as diverse as newsgathering, sports coverage at outside broadcast locations and studio-based

productions, modern broadcasting would be unrecognisable without access to spectrum used for radio

cameras and microphones, as well as in-ear monitors and talkback systems.

Cultural and creative industries in Europe provide more than 12 million full-time jobs, which amounts

to 7.5 % of the EU’s work force, creating approximately EUR 509 billion in value added to GDP

(5.3 % of the EU’s total GVA)1. The EU audiovisual sector is a core component of Europe’s cultural and creative fabric. It generates a turnover of about EUR130 billion every year, and creates high

added-value jobs which are deeply rooted in local cultures and economies. EBU members are proud

to contribute to that through our programme production activities. Much of this would not be possible

without PMSE services.

However, in recent years, as programme production becomes more demanding, the spectrum available

for PMSE has been squeezed as never before. Major events, like the 2012 Olympic Games in London,

have demanded highly complex spectrum management processes to be put in place to cope with the

demands for spectrum from broadcasters, news crews and the Games organisers themselves (all of

which could be considered as PMSE), as well as from civil authorities, security forces and so on. .

The spectrum supply in London for the 2012 Olympic Games was made possible by occurring during

the UK digital switchover programme which ensured that additional UHF spectrum was available for

PMSE services, and such conditions would not apply if such an event was to be repeated in future.

The RSPG rightly recognises that such events demand bespoke solutions and cannot be treated in the

same way as “everyday” use.

In parallel with the increasingly complex production events, however, the spectrum resources

available to broadcasters for PMSE use have been reduced with, for example, the re-purposing of

parts of the UHF spectrum for mobile, as well as further re-allocations of the 2.3 GHz and 3.4-3.6

GHz bands.

Partly to cope with this, the RSPG has identified the concept of “harmonised tuning ranges” as a

suitable means to maximise inter-operability of PMSE equipment between countries. In some cases,

these harmonised tuning ranges have also become de facto harmonised bands for PMSE use across

Europe. The EBU welcomes this, and supports the RSPG in encouraging administrations to continue

with this process as far as possible. For example, the proposed use of parts of the band 960-1164 MHz

is being considered in CEPT, and offers potential as a further harmonised tuning range. However, the

EBU also notes that this harmonised tuning approach does not increase the actual capacity of

spectrum to support PMSE services.

Furthermore, it is essential that within the tuning ranges a sufficient amount of spectrum is available

to PMSE where stringent production requirements can be met, in particular for high-quality content.

The EBU notes that the RSPG does not propose to do any further review of spectrum availability for

PMSE until around 2025. The RSPG appears to have concluded that until that date, improvements in

spectrum efficiency through improved technology can match any increased demand for PMSE use.

The EBU has concerns that this may not be the case, and that the technological improvements

necessary to make it so are, in many cases, still unproven. We would therefore encourage RSPG to

consider more frequent reviews, in consultation with stakeholders, on whether PMSE spectrum supply

is meeting demand.

Research in 5G technology could offer potential in meeting some of these requirements and we note

the PMSE-xG project currently underway in Germany. We believe that the work of this project has

wider applicability than Germany, and would propose that administrations, manufacturers and PMSE

users from across the EU should collaborate in this area to ensure solutions developed meet the

technical user requirements and overcome the considerable economic hurdles in adopting 5G

technologies. Concerns remain regarding the Quality of Service factors including guaranteed

availability when sharing future 5G spectrum and infrastructure. PMSE users already successfully use

3G and 4G spectrum and infrastructure for critical and non-critical applications and only to

supplement their preferred spectrum and technologies. While research continues into the potential of

5G technology it is important that these as yet unproven possibilities are not used as an argument

against continued PMSE access to existing spectrum. Of particular importance are the ‘tuning ranges’ in 2GHz spectrum which the RSPG recognise are vital to meeting peak demand for large events

across Member States. Therefore, the EBU supports the RSPG’s call that R&D funding should be

provided to the PMSE industries to explore advances in technology to improve spectrum efficiency, in

particular how digital systems can be developed that offer spectrum efficiency while meeting PMSE

requirements for high quality and low latency for both audio and video PMSE. Further, we also

welcome the call that manufacturers should aim to enlarge the tuning ranges within which their

equipment can operate.

The EBU also welcomes the RSPG’s opinion that Member States should retain flexibility in use of the 2 GHz range for wireless cameras, but we have concerns that the 7 GHz band is considered equivalent

to the 2 GHz band for this use. Our members’ experience is that 7 GHz is considerably more restricted

in its use, being limited to line of sight operations. The provision of R&D funding to the PMSE

industries would allow new suitable products to be developed, particularly in higher frequency bands,

including 7 GHz and above for video PMSE.

Finally, the EBU would like to emphasise that above all these detailed considerations, the need for

long-term stability and regulatory certainty is paramount.

Høringssvar fra Experimenterende Danske Radioamatører (EDR)

Ref. J nr. 2017-5741

EDR takker for muligheden for at afgive høringssvar i forbindelse med Energistyrelsens høring af

26. oktober 2017 over udkast til forskellige bekendtgørelser på frekvensområdet.

EDR ser frem til at udføre de arbejdsopgaver, som det planlægges, at energi-, forsynings- og kli-

maministeren bemyndiger EDR til at varetage pr. 1. januar 2018.

EDR har følgende bemærkninger til Bekendtgørelse om anvendelse af radiofrekvenser uden

tilladelse samt om amatørradioprøver og kaldesignaler m.v.

Benævnelse EDR/ApS

Som bekendt via e-mail korrespondance mellem Energistyrelsen og EDR forventer

EDR at placere de opgaver, der overføres til EDR på amatørradioområdet, i et selv-

stændigt ApS, som er under oprettelse (Ham Radio Certificate Denmark ApS). EDR

forventer, at Energistyrelsen i den forbindelse foretager de fornødne opdateringer i

den endelige udgave af bekendtgørelsen, således at denne afspejler konstruktionen

med et ApS, som udfører de opgaver, som hidtil har ligget i Energistyrelsen, og et

EDR og dennes lokalafdelinger, som afholder prøverne som hidtil.

Udenlandske radioamatørers adgang til at anvende amatørradio under korte op-

hold i Danmark

EDR bemærker, at der foreslås ændret i formuleringen i bekendtgørelsens § 15, stk. 2,

som hidtil har været affattet således:

Stk. 2. Tilladelser, som er udstedt af udenlandske myndigheder, er gyldige un-

der kortvarige ophold i Danmark, hvis en sådan gyldighed er indeholdt i inter-

nationale aftaler, der er tiltrådt af Danmark.

I udkastet til ny bekendtgørelse affattes bestemmelsen således:

Stk. 2. Anvendelse af radiofrekvenser, som er tilladt af udenlandske myndighe-

der, er tilladt under kortvarige ophold i Danmark, hvis anvendelsen er inde-

holdt i internationale aftaler, der er tiltrådt af Danmark.

Side 2

EDR anbefaler, at den nuværende formulering bibeholdes, idet den har til hensigt at

anerkende visse udenlandske tilladelser/certifikater, som derved kan anvendes i over-

ensstemmelse med CEPT anbefaling T/R 61-01 (CEPT Radio Amateur Licence) og

ECC anbefaling (05)06 (CEPT Novice Radio Amateur Licence), hvor det bl.a. af T/R

61-01 fremgår:

The ''CEPT radio amateur licence" ..... will be valid for non-residents only, for

the duration of their temporary stays in countries having adopted the Recom-

mendation, and within the limit of validity of the national licence. ......... The

CEPT Licence permits utilisation of all frequency bands allocated to the Ama-

teur Service and Amateur Satellite Service and authorised in the country where

the amateur station is to be operated.

Eventuelt kan “Tilladelser” ændres til “Tilladelser/certifikater”.

EDR finder, at det vil være problematisk at anføre, at ”Anvendelse af radiofrekvenser, som er tilladt af udenlandske myndigheder” vil være tilladt i Danmark, idet der trak-

tatmæssigt er forskelle i frekvensanvendelsen i de enkelte lande inden for CEPT og

ITU.

Kryptering af amatørradiotrafik i Danmark

På mødet mellem Energistyrelsen og EDR den 30. marts 2017 bemærkede EDR, at

kryptering af amatørradioudsendelser er tilladt mellem danske radioamatører, men ik-

ke tilladt ved forbindelser til udlandet (se bekendtgørelsens bilag 4, punkt 3.3, nr. 4).

Kryptering af amatørradio trafik har indtil for nylig været meget begrænset. Ved

fremkomsten af bl.a. fabriksfremstillet DMR radioudstyr er kryptering blevet en del af

standard-softwaren for disse produkter. Dette har ført til, at internetopkoblede repeate-

re benyttes til krypteret trafik, der via internetopkoblingen udsendes i nabolande.

Kryptering er ikke tilladt i alle lande, og det er derfor uhensigtsmæssigt, når vi i Dan-

mark, tilsigtet eller utilsigtet, er årsag til, at krypteret trafik udsendes via ubemandede

amatørradiorepeatere eller satellitter til udlandet. EDR lagde derfor op til, at det over-

vejes at forbyde benyttelsen af kryptering på repeaternes indgangsfrekvenser og satel-

lit uplink-frekvenser. Energistyrelsen har tidligere modtaget forslag fra EDR til føl-

gende ændring i bilag 4, punkt 3.3:

3.3

4) Ved internationale forbindelser (inkl. Grønland og Færøerne) samt anven-

delse af frekvensbånd i henhold til punkt 1.4 og 1.5 må udsendelser ikke kryp-

teres. Der skal anvendes klart sprog i form af tale, morse eller ved anvendelse

af digital kommunikation, hvor der benyttes alment tilgængelige protokoller og

programmer.”

EDR anbefaler, at den foreslåede ændring indarbejdes i den endelige udgave af be-

kendtgørelsen.
