The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan held the 5G spectrum auction in April 2019. The country’s telecom operators acquired spectrum in the 3.7 GHz, 4.5 GHz and 28 GHz (n78, n77, n79 and n257) bands . 5G service is provided by four telecom operators in Japan: NTT Docomo, KDDI, Rakuten and Softbank.22 Tem 2020
Read moreWhat is the challenge of 5G?
Challenges with 5G include the ability to provide the necessary bandwidth to users with the devices capable of higher data rates . Using a frequency above six gigahertz enables networks to do this. However, high-frequencies entail problems with 5G.
Read moreWhy is 5G so difficult?
5G Network Deployment Challenges Due to the type of signal that some 5G cell towers transmit, their reach is severely limited to devices in proximity . Many networks are operating on 5G radio frequencies called millimeter waves that are capable of carrying lots of data.
Read moreWhat is the wavelength of 5G spectrum?
What is the 5G wavelength? Verizon 5G utilizes millimeter wave technology. These millimeter waves exist on an extremely high frequency and are considered millimeter waves because the wavelengths range between 1 and 10 mm . 5G may also utilize ultra-high frequency radio waves between 300 MHz and 3 GHz.
Read moreWhat spectrum does 5G use?
Today, a majority of commercial 5G networks rely on spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz) . This momentum makes it vital that regulators assign as much contiguous 5G spectrum as possible in the range. However, 5G needs more mid-band spectrum to maintain quality of service and meet growing demand.
