Economic Study
• PBR Response to the Stated Preference Method Survey
• Approx. 150 responses from 700 invitations• Covering Police, Fire, Wide Area, UK general,
National & Regional, On Site, On Site Paging and Local Comms. (Only 6 CBS responses)
• Results from this sample indicate a consumer surplus from PMR licensees of just under £1bn
• Compared to Cellular £7bn• Revenue from PMR licenses £8.845bn• RA request a wider participation in future
survey - next year.
450-470MHz - the problem
• Existing UK band plan• Continental plan (T/R 25-08 Annex 2)• UK suffers interference• No scope for growth or new
technology (TETRA)• Spectrum efficiency could be improved

• Harmonisation (for all bands Y/N)• Band is identified for TETRA - we
can’t introduce this without realignment
• Future of analogue in 410-430MHz - closure in favour of TETRA?
• TETRA 2 to be released in 2005 (200kb/s)

CEPT Plan for PMR Bands
Band 1 Low band
Mid band High band
Band 3
UHF 1 UHF 2
• Funding - users expected to pay given 5 yrs notice
• Spectrum Efficiency Scheme
• Digital/Analogue split
• Implications for users, suppliers, manufacturers
Key Issues
• General start in UHF2 - after PSRCS rollout completes
• Notice period required
• Detailed implementation plan to be drawn up
• Need industry help - users & suppliers
• Early localised implementation possible -case by case basis
Timescales
Meeting Customer Needs
• E-Licensing
• Credit Card Payments
• Availability of Data
• Converging Computing & Communications
• Mixed Technology
• The way forwards
Why E-licensing???
• 25% of licensing by 2002
• 100% of licensing by 2004
We are committed to the “Modernising Government White Paper” requirement:
“100% of dealings with government to be deliverable electronically by the year 2004. The aim is to make it as easy and simple to do most of the main dealings with government as it is to make a telephone call or choose between TV programmes;”Business E-Strategy Document
‘Intelligent’ Application Forms
•Mandatory completion of particular fields
•Method of completion of particular fields systemdriven, e.g. numbers only can be entered in
numerical fields
•Validation checking e.g. postcode matchesaddress, NGR matches location etc
•Customer validation - automatic field population

How the pilot will workSee demonstration
Customer logs onto Agency website (internet café, home/work PC, Kiosk,
Dealer etc)
Completes ELA, general, payment and technical details - then submits
ELA electronically
Reads information & decides which licence
they need
The completed ELA arrives electronically into the appropriate RULES workflow
mailbox queue
Eventually - 100% by 2004
Customer uses Agency website (internet café, home/work PC, Kiosk, Dealer)
Completes ELA general, payment and technical details
Reads information & decides which licence they need
Details sent electronically to RA3 to trigger site Inspection !
Applicant views channel offer details etc through Route 2000
Selection and Assignment made by applicant in straightforward cases
Licence issued

•Discussions with banking organisations complete - Endorsement paper to Management Board 20th September 2000
•Now able to accept debit/credit card payments for Nov/ Dec 2000 renewals up to £1000
•Trials at HQ to be initiated prior to launch
•PBR Web Pilot to include a form of Card Payment ?

Where might all this take us?
Possibilities for the future
Telecommunications and computing
•By the 1980s we had universal telecommunications networks and fixed networks of desktop computers. •In the early 1980s radios acquired processing power. The analogue mobile phone becomes possible•In the early 1990s the GSM standard is published and digital mobile radio telephony is born•In the late 1990s LANs begin to acquire mobility by use of infra-red and radio. Small, light computer devices such as laptops and personal organisers acquire the ability to join and leave networks•Can PMR exploit these technologies?
are converging
So where are we now?
• Only radio technologies can supply the widespread need for communications on the move.
• This cannot be provided by a single technology• Different technologies will make up the web
of networks. The current list includes IMT 2000, GSM, TETRA, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, HIPERLAN and numerous others
• Should manufacturers consider modular systems to combine technologies
New Possibilities
•The NGfL (National Grid for Learning) aims to be a comprehensive programme that includes Government funding for expenditure on hardware, software and networks, as well as for training in the use of information and communications technology in the educational context.
•Local authorities and bus operators are installing road transport passenger information systems (RTPI) networking vehicles, bus stops, traffic lights, etc
•Health sector informatics (but no application has been made for radio spectrum as yet)
PMR the future
• The RA are further developing assignment tools
• Monitoring data is available to integrate with the assignment process
• The RA will take notice of end user requirements.
• What does the end user require?• Manufacturers and dealers need to provide a
solution to the mobile communication needs of the customer.
• Lets work together to make it a success.
What Technologies to Consider
• Conventional AM/FM• TETRA• TETRAPOL• Astro (meets APCO25)• EDACS (FDMA Ericson)• iDEN• MPT 1327• MPT 1379 (IR 2008) July 2001• Others are detailed in SE23(96)123
rev 5• Are new technologies mature
PMR into the future
• What is the right strategy for the UK• What technologies/combination of
technologies• What frequency bands• Do we harmonise all bands• SWOT analysis of all options• Costs of change or not to change• PMR supports most UK businesses • PMR MUST SUCCEED
