Yesterday’s Webinar Take-Aways

• 5G is coming!

5G applications and usage scenarios are envisioned

ITU-R administrations have agreed on a timeline for IMT-2020

Industry is preparing for specifications, prototypes and trials

• Spectrum needs of 5G must also be addressed as the

vehicle to deliver various 5G applications and use cases

Technological advancements enabling access to cm/mm-bands

bands in support of applications requiring large contiguous

channels

Access to more low frequency spectrum in support of 5G

applications requiring wide coverage areas

• Identification of spectrum relies on regulators’

cooperation and guidance at World Radio Conferences

(WRC-15 and WRC-19)

5G Spectrum Considerations
