Digital dividend: cognitive access | Ofcom

Ofcom are holding a consultation on the use of cognitive devices which can be used on a license exempt basis.

There are two forms of cognitive devices, one that "scans" the spectrum and looks for unused channels which the device will then pick and use, while scanning for interference. The second type use geolocation and pick channels based on their location - devices must be accurate to 100m.

The consultation closes on 1st may 2009.
