Full range of affected technologies as taken from here:
- Citizens’ Band (CB) radio – measures to remove the need for users of CB radio, of which there are currently 20,000, to obtain a licence from Ofcom;
- “micro” FM transmitters – these devices are designed to facilitate easy connection between audio sources (such as digital audio devices and MP3 players) and normal FM broadcast receivers by way of a radio link. Ofcom proposes to permit the use of these devices on a licence-exempt basis;
- A range of new technologies and novel applications of radio where users will not need to obtain a licence from Ofcom:
-- Inmarsat BGAN and High Density Fixed Satellite Service (HDFSS) satellite terminals;
-- Narrow band use of 24 GHz for short-range radar (including automotive applications);
-- Radar Level Gauges;
-- Digital PMR 446 (“walkie talkies”);
