Public Wireless Networks: Exemption of User Stations

Overview As a result of recent trade press comment on the legality of GSM Gateways and Fixed Cellular Terminals and at the request of some of the mobile network operators Burnside Telecom has prepared a short paper on the topic of Public Wireless Networks – Exemptions of User Stations and how it relates to the new Burnside Desktop Cellular Terminal. In 1949 the Wireless Telegraphy Act determined that wireless telegraphy apparatus that was not specifically exempted from licensing must be licensed otherwise its use was illegal. The widespread use of GSM handheld terminals mobile phones led to the current Wireless Telegraphy Exemption Regulations exempting ‘mobile’ terminals and defined mobile terminals as ‘user stations’. In other words the definition of user station only applied to a mobile station.
