So far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> has already auctioned off the <strong>3.4GHz<\/strong> band for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> and we know they&#8217;ll do the same with <strong>700MHz<\/strong> next year. On top of that they&#8217;re already looking at how to release spectrum in the <strong>3.5-3.8GHz<\/strong> bands and also the <strong>26GHz<\/strong> (24.25-27.5GHz) band for the same purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The rationale is that 700MHz will prove useful for delivering wide 5G coverage in rural areas, albeit at slower speeds than urban areas (less opportunity for Carrier Aggregation etc.). Meanwhile the higher frequencies around 26GHz (e.g. millimetre Wave) will support &#8220;<em>very large bandwidths, providing ultra-high capacity and very low latency<\/em>&#8220;, although their limited range may confine them to fixed wireless networks. Finally, the stuff in 3.4GHz+ may work most of its magic in urban areas via a dense network.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2017-article-illustrations\/5g_spectrum_use_in_the_uk.png\" alt=\"5g_spectrum_use_in_the_uk\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On top of all that Ofcom&#8217;s new consultation identifies other bands that they &#8220;<em>intend to promote<\/em>&#8221; for similar uses in mobile networks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ofcom&#8217;s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[The] other bands that we intend to promote for identification for IMT are; 40.5-43.5GHz (as part of the wider 37-43.5GHz band) and 66-71GHz.<\/p>\n<p>As we said in our Call for Input and more recent Enabling 5G in the UK, we consider that the frequency range 37-43.5GHz has strong potential to become a 5G band, noting its attractiveness as a wide tuning range for harmonised equipment, while equipment development in 66-71 GHz should be able to draw on the experience of multi-gigabit wireless systems in the adjacent band.<\/p>\n<p>The 66-71GHz band also appears to have no operating users and this spectrum has recently been opened in the USA for unlicensed use. Finally, the band 32GHz (31.8 \u2013 33.4GHz) has also been discussed internationally, although there appears to be little traction on this band at present.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Further down in the document Ofcom notes that &#8220;<em>more recently and outside the work preparing for WRC-19<\/em>&#8220;, the <strong>6GHz<\/strong> band (i.e. above 5925MHz) has come into focus for potential sharing opportunities with Wi-Fi or similar short range wireless broadband access technologies. Both Europe and the USA are known to be considering this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Ofcom will continue to monitor these [6GHz] developments to help us understand which of the bands of interest for potential expanded Wi-Fi use have the greatest prospect of support<\/em>,&#8221; said the regulator. Ofcom has already given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> a boost by making an additional 125MHz of radio spectrum available to it via 5.8GHz (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/07\/ofcom-speeds-uk-wi-fi-networks-adding-5-8ghz-spectrum-band.html\">here<\/a>), but the addition of a whole new band beyond the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum would be a big change.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly even the best home wireless networks tend to struggle with the new generation of Gigabit capable &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; broadband ISP networks and so a new band sitting so close to the existing 5GHz one would be ideal, although various other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a>, fixed link and mobile style communication platforms already make use of it. We probably won&#8217;t see 6GHz being used by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> for awhile.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Ofcom&#8217;s 2019 WRC Consultation<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/consultations-and-statements\/category-1\/uk-preparations-wrc-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/..\/uk-preparations-wrc-19<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK telecoms regulator has today published a new consultation document on their proposals for the crucial World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19), which amongst other things highlights the bands they&#8217;d like to see used for 5G and the possibility of adopting 6GHz for use in future WiFi networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[406,60,36,476],"class_list":["post-16273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-5g","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-ofcom-regulation","tag-wifi"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
