Consultation: Consultation on the introduction of mobile services on aircraft

Ofcom expects the standards and procedures for Mobile Communication on Aircraft (MCA) to be agreed on a European basis by the end of 2007 or early 2008. The Ofcom document summarises the requirements of the European standard to prevent harmful interference being generated outside the aircraft and consults on its suitability to protect terrestrial networks. The paper also consults on the proposed common approach to authorisations where each EU Member State will recognise the authorisations of others. The current proposals cover GSM in the 1800 MHz band only.
