Omnitouch advocates for the re-use of unmanaged Spectrum, promoting the development of better telecommunications across Australia. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) called out for industry representatives to submit their thoughts on the current uses of frequency bands and alternative licence conditions. The submissions will assist in developing a better understanding of how spectrum is currently being utilised and how potential changes to licensing could better support long-term public interest. This presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to shape the policy and decision-making framework in which applications for licence renewal and alternative use options are considered. Omnitouch Network Services advocates for the ‘secondary use’ of spectrum in scenarios where the primary Spectrum License holder is not currently utilising the spectrum. They outline two avenues for spectrum changes: a Use-It-Or-Share-It (UIOSI) or a Use-It-Or-Lose-It (UIOLI) approach to the expiring spectrum licenses. The introduction of this approach would mean that holders of spectrum licenses who are currently utilising their spectrum holdings to service that area can continue to serve the area with no change. Critically, however, this new approach would open the door to allow the industry to utilise unused spectrum in a given area, and allow a competitive market for other licensees to utilise that previously unused spectrum to provide services. With 28% of Australians facing issues around access to communications, We see that allowing access to unused spectrum in underserved rural and remote areas would be a catalyst for positive change. It would drive vastly improved connectivity and communications while maintaining the current competitive market in areas with an abundance of service options and providers.

A very informative article on emergency alerting in the Globe & Mail. When cell towers go down in extreme weather disasters (fires/floods, etc.) they can often take out Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems operating on those same towers used by first responders, rendering both communications systems inoperable across an entire jurisdiction. In contrast, existing high-power/high-tower TV broadcast infrastructure operates as a completely separate data delivery system supporting PACE planning in emergency scenarios. Using the new ATSC 3.0 terrestrial IP-based broadcast transmission standard, you can geo-target specific areas with instant updates delivering emergency messaging to unlimited users over a wide geographic area. Being IP-based, ATSC 3.0 data delivery can also converge with cell and internet delivery systems offering capacity multiplication in service when cell/mobile traffic loads become highly congested in crisis/disaster situations. Our Humber College Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab is deploying Canada's first broadcast emergency response network for both first responders and public alerting applications. The same ATSC 3.0 signal can also offer complementary PNT (GPS) service during loss/denial of satellite-based GPS. We are supporting global innovation in Canada, working with a world-class team of experts including Fred Engel, CPBE, ATSC3, PBS North Carolina, Red Grasso, along with Chris Lamb and Anthony Sammarco of Device Solutions Inc who have developed a leading edge broadcast emergency paging solution for first responders.
