In order to realize the potential of a digital society, including use cases like public security, IoT, and industry automation, additional suitable spectrum bands and enough bandwidths are needed for 5G and 6G systems.
Affordable and pervasive services and applications build on economies of scale. This in turn requires globally or regionally harmonized spectrum arrangements, sharing conditions, and technical standards.
Spectrum regulation should aim for attaining harmonized and unrestrictive regulatory conditions for 5G for the different frequency ranges – low (e.g. 600, 700 MHz), mid (e.g. 3.3-4.2 GHz, 4.4-5 GHz) and high bands (e,g. 26 GHz, 28 GHz, 39 GHz). Read more in Spectrum awards
In order to realize the potential of a digital society, including smart cities, connecting the unconnected, IoT, and industry automation, additional suitable spectrum bands with sufficient bandwidths are needed for 5G and its evolution. To be noted that 6G research has started and new use cases are under consideration, thus it is necessary to look for appropriate spectrum.
