Read moreSpectrum Pricing – April 2020 Update
Spectrum Pricing April 2020 Update In the first quarter of 2020 regulators continued their efforts to open up spectrum resources, making them available for use for LTE and 5G networks. C-Band spectrum has been targeted by many countries as a key resource for 5G, balancing the requirement to achieve coverage with the need to deliver high capacity, while millimetre wave spectrum (mmWave) is being made available to enable the deployment of much smaller, but higher capacity zones within 5G networks. The full GSA Spectrum Pricing data will be added to the GAMBoD databases in 2020.… -
