Final report
Publication metadata
The objective of this study is to assess the socioeconomic impacts of different policy options currently being considered by the European Commission to provide a long-term sustainable solution to spectrum access for PMSE equipment. The study focuses on wireless microphones/IEMs and cordless cameras. The scope of the analysis is determined by the requirements of the European Commission’s Impact Assessment process. For each type of equipment, the report sets out the baseline situation and spectrum access challenges, including market fragmentation, lack of sufficient spectrum and uncertainty regarding future availability of spectrum. Regulatory initiatives to address these challenges include common tuning ranges and (for microphones) harmonised frequencies defined at EU level. The study presents the impact of each type of initiative on users, manufacturers and regulators. The results show that the concept of common tuning ranges at EU level enjoys widespread support among the PMSE community and that an intervention to adopt such tuning ranges would be cost-beneficial. The study also highlights the need for further research to identify suitable frequency ranges that could be made available for cordless cameras on a shared basis
