Mr. Jim Beveridge (Microsoft Corporation), “Dynamic Spectrum Access (Linking Africa and Scotland)”
Abstract: For over 3.9 billion people, around 61% of the world’s population, the cost of fixed broadband is more than 5% of their income and so deemed unaffordable. Basic mobile broadband is unaffordable for over 2.6 billion of the world’s population. (The Economic Significance of Licence-Exempt Spectrum to the Future of the Internet, 2012) Africa is a case in point where the growth and innovation are being hampered by lack of basic connectivity. With a view to improving this situation, Microsoft, along with other members of the
Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, is investing in piloting TV White Spaces trials in rural Africa. This talk will feature information concerning the ongoing TVWS trials in Africa, outlining the challenges and opportunities involved in building and deploying rural networks. It will contrast the work in Africa with the urban deployment scenarios integral to Ofcom’s Glasgow TVWS pilot. Experience gained through TVWS deployments around the globe, including a discussion of regulatory and spectrum allocation issues, will be shared with the audience.
