About

Ofcom awarded a contract to SAF Tehnika for the procurement of additional portable ruggedised microwave link radio measurement equipment covering the 2–40 GHz, V band (56–70 GHz), and E band (70–86 GHz) ranges.

The equipment supports Ofcom's Spectrum Assurance team in proactively monitoring for unlicensed use and responding to interference cases in these bands, which are used extensively for mobile network operator backbone networks and high-capacity backhaul, including new spectrum releases supporting the Shared Rural Network initiative and 5G rollout.

The contract, valued at £95,595.98, addresses operational limitations caused by UK-wide sharing of existing equipment.
