ITS (UK) further supports toll road operators over 5.8 GHz spectrum

摘要

ITS (UK) has responded to the latest Ofcom consultation into plans to open up a part of the radio spectrum used for tolling, putting forward a series of reasons why more research should be done before any change is made. The telecoms regulator wants to allow the Broadband Fixed Wireless Access (BFWA) protocol to use the 5.8 GHz spectrum currently reserved for road tolling. BFWA allows for longer-range broadband transmission, but there are significant concerns that such use would interfere with tolling operations.
