(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations exempt the establishment, installation and use of certain wireless telegraphy stations or apparatus, known as “mobile repeaters,” which comply with certain terms, provisions and limitations, from the requirement to be licensed under section 8(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (c 36).
The mobile repeaters that are exempted are those used indoors and which amplify signals transmitted using GSM and/or UMTS technologies, known as “2G” and “3G” respectively, in addition to any amplification they make of signals transmitted using LTE (“4G”) technology, and also those which are used in vehicles. In each case, the mobile repeaters must comply with technical specifications and conditions set out in Interface Requirements published by the Office of Communications (“Ofcom”).
Interface Requirements are documents containing technical specifications and conditions which are published by OFCOM in accordance with Article 8.1 of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC. The Interface Requirements are published by Ofcom and available to the public on its official website at https://www.ofcom.org.uk/ and from its library at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA.
