Table 1 – Status of the UHF (470-862 MHz) band in the EU

By 30 June 2017, Member States will adopt and make their national roadmaps on the transition process public. These roadmaps will contain information on activities and timescales for frequency re-planning, necessary technical developments, the co-existence of radio and non-radio equipment, and existing and new authorisation regimes. They will also include information on the possible compensation for migration costs, so that these costs are not entirely supported by end-users. By 31 December 2017, Member States are to finalise the cross-border frequency coordination agreements within the EU, paving the way for the upcoming use of the 700 MHz band without cross-border interference. By 30 June 2020 at the latest, Member States will allow the effective use of the 700 MHz band for wireless broadband under harmonised technical conditions.
