Driving the 5G expansion

1. 3GPP start date indicates approval of study package (study item->work item->specifications), previous release continues beyond start of next release with functional freezes and ASN.1

2020 eMBB expansion

• Beyond smartphone (PC, FWA, …)

• New markets/regions

• Nationwide coverage & SA migration

Longer term expansion

• Industrial IoT, enterprise, automotive network

• Private networks

• Unlicensed spectrum

2019 eMBB

• Global smartphone
