Spectrum Management Overview Ø Must be managed to ensure effective use Ø Governments and regulators must consider public & commercial benefits Ø Spectrum should be allocated appropriately Ø Based on the 3 types (either “Beauty Contest”, Unlicensed, Auction (price based) approaches) Ø Social and Economic considerations are necessary Ø Scarcity of spectrum demands efficient use and management www. gscoalition. org

Total Spectrum Identified for IMT Additional 33 GHz identified WRC-19 www. gscoalition. org

Reality Today: Substantial allocated spectrum is still unused Note: some countries (i. e. Myanmar, Nepal) had no data for 2014 ASIA (Source: LS Telcom) www. gscoalition. org

Potential Spectrum Bands for 5 G Deployment 26 GHz (24. 25 – 27. 5 GHz) 28 GHz (27. 5 – 29. 5 GHz) 37 GHz (37. 0 – 40. 5 GHz) 42 GHz (40. 5 – 43. 5 GHz) 47 GHz (47. 2 -50. 2, 50. 4 -52. 6 GHz) 70 / 80 GHz (66 – 76 GHz and 81– 86 GHz ) • Protect existing and planned use by FSS, ISL, SRS, EESS • Sustainable basis without undue constraint • Substantial investment by Satellite Operators in this band • Protect existing and future use for FSS, • Protect planned HDFSS downlink for ubiquitous use • Co-existence between IMT & HDFSS not possible • Needs appropriate shared basis • Remains necessary for FSS development (coordinated earth stations) • Protect planned HDFSS uplink for ubiquitous use • Co-existence between IMT & HDFSS not possible • Provides up to 15 GHz of spectrum for 5 G MS • Relatively lightly used by other systems • Synergies with Wi. Gig. Very high capacity www. gscoalition. org

5 G - A Network of Networks MNOs will continue to invest in 4 G / LTE The Wi. Fi Ecosystem continues to evolve Gigabit Wi. Fi = Wi. Gig MNOs & Vendors Trial high-data rate in mm. Wave bands High Throughput Satellites available with global coverage Cellular Wi. Fi/Wi. Gig Satellite <20 Gbps www. gscoalition. org

Only A Mix of Technologies Will Deliver 5 G … and they are already starting to Wi-Fi Eco-System is Evolving: Gigabit Wi. Fi chips + devices becoming available: 200 m radios shipped in 2017, 2020: >1 bn “Wi. Gig” Satellite Eco-System is Evolving: HTS, VHTS, GSOs + NGSOs using L, S, C, Ku, Ka bands & in future Q, V bands as well Mobile Eco-System is Evolving: Germany, Italy, Australia: carrier aggregation delivering up to 900 Mbps Field Tests in UK & US: >20 Gbps delivered in 70 GHz bands On commercially viable basis No interference with other services Using Existing Spectrum www. gscoalition. org
