Spectrum management and the IoT

> Why the IoT is the same> Why the IoT is different

ScaleHeterogeneous (networks and devices)

Elements

Planning

> IoT Alliance

> Workstream 4 – Spectrum

> LIPD Class Licence – Proposed Variation

> Minimum bandwidth requirements in 915-928 MHz

> LIPD Class Licence – 803-960 MHz Review Outcome

> 928-933/935 MHz (metro/regional)

> LPWA “green fields” available from 2021

> Potential for early access subject to coordination

Page 5: Session 5 5 mark loney acma

Licensing models

> Exclusive Use

> Mobile networks

> Shared Use

> 4.9 GHz public safety

> Open Access

> LIPD – best endeavours

Page 6: Session 5 5 mark loney acma

Use

Devices> Manufacturing and Supply

> Globalisation of manufacturing and supply lines colliding with national spectrum arrangements

> Compliance increasingly managed by head office rather than local subsidiary (marketing not sales)

> Deployments> Compliance at the device level rather than the installation

or network level (LED/TV displays, car park sensor systems)

Non-compliance

• Weighbridge RFID 902.15 MHz• Interference to Optus

• Remote for car crusher 912 MHz• Interference to Vodafone

Non-compliance

• CSIRO RFID Bees• Severe interference

to Optus, Vodafone

• Agriculture 902-915 MHz• Severe interference to

Optus, Vodafone

Keeping the IoT working

Mechanisms for mitigating non-compliance

> Equipment Standards> Supply> Deployment > Industry can lead here

> Avoid default frequency ranges> Frequency modes for different countries and regions

(automated selection)
