The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) is a global, cross-industry, not for profit organization advocating for laws, regulations, and economic best practices that will lead to more efficient utilization of spectrum, fostering innovation and affordable connectivity for all.

WHAT WE DO


OUR MEMBERS


Make spectrum abundant for broadband Connect the next 4 billion people Stimulate wireless innovation for next generation broadband Accelerate an inclusive digital economy

OUR MISSION


Thank you to our sponsors6


Connect the unconnected/underserved citizens Accelerate digital inclusion Stimulate innovation and adoption of new technologies Build coalition with industry Create the right environment for investment Strategic partnerships Repurposing spectrum while protecting incumbents

SPECTRUM POLICY CHALLENGES


Making networks more affordable Supporting rural broadband Changing the spectrum crunch conversation Enabling 5G Supercharging technology like Wi-Fi Connecting wireless devices Supporting innovation Spectrum sharing increases connectivity and coverage for all

SPECTRUM SHARING IS CRUCIAL TODAY


CBRS and TSSMIn the U.S., the FCC has developed a spectrum sharing model called Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) to make more efficient use of the 3.5GHz band.

A light-weight database is used to facilitate dynamic sharing in a 3-tiered framework. All parties have access to both PAL and GAA spectrum.

TVWSTV whitespace enables cost effective broadband deployment in rural areas.

TVWS also provides good building penetration that is critically important for IoT and smart city applications.

mmWaveThe propagation characteristics of mmWave bands make dynamic sharing ideal to enable efficient use of spectrum.

Unlicensed access to the 57 –71 GHz band enables Wi-Gig and P2M mesh network services.

Flexible licensing rules.3D Spectrum Sharing

WI-FI 6The 6 GHz band is crucial to meet the demand for Wi-Fi and new unlicensed services that require larger channel bandwidths.

Technology management of the band can protect incumbent services while allowing greater access to Wi-Fi by standard power devices.

UNLICENSED ACCESS TO THE 6 GHz BAND (1200 MHz)

LPI and VLP devices can coexist with existing incumbent services in the band. Standard Power RLANs operating outdoors can coexist with incumbents using

Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC).


To meet the demands of today, immediate access is required.

Many countries understood that it is not an ‘and/or’ decision between parties, but part of their broadband and 5G strategy.

Final regulations adopted in the USA, the UK, Republic of Korea and Chile. On going process in Europe, Taiwan, Brazil and others.

REGULATORS SHOULD PREPARE FOR WI-FI 6E


DSA RELEASES (I)

• Assessing the economic value of unlicensed use in the 6 GHz band in Brazil. Telecom Advisory Services LLC.

• The cumulative economic value between 2020 and 2030 associated with allocating the 1200 MHz in the 6 GHz band amounts to US$ 112.14 billion in GDP contribution, US$ 30.03 billion in producer surplus to Brazilian enterprises, and US$ 21.19 billion in consumer surplus to the Brazilian population.


Wi-Fi is a key technology to meet the increase in online activity in Brazil due to restrictions imposed by COVID-19

In Brazil, Wi-Fi has carried an additional 2.8 Exabytes of traffic in the last 6 months as a result of COVID-19 restrictive measures, which have boosted broadband use in homes.

Additional spectrum throughout the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi use in Brazil is the most effective and rapid way of mitigating risks associated with spectrum depletion, expanding and improving Wi-Fi performance, ensuring the continuous growth of the online economy and innovation;

DSA RELEASES (II)


Focused on Europe, Middle East and Africa (ITU Region 1), this paper explains the importance of enabling licence-exempt access to the lower 6 GHz band (5925-6425 MHz) and the upper 6 GHz band (6425-7125 MHz) in a timely manner. It also outlines why identifying the upper 6 GHz band for IMT at the next WRC-23 would make it difficult for countries to realise the full potential of this spectrum.

In Europe, the immediate priority is the timely adoption of the EC Decision on licence-exempt access to the lower 6 GHz band.

In the Middle East and Africa, administrations should consider initiating national consultations on licence-exempt access to the 6 GHz band.
