Collaboration in Asia for 5G Spectrum
Report in Collaboration with the GSMA Highlights Best Practice from National 5G Plans
Organized by GTI (Global TD-LTE Initiative), GSMA (Global Mobile Suppliers Association)GSA (Global mobile Suppliers Association), “Collaboration in Asia for 5G Spectrum” workshop was successfully held in Shanghai on June 28th, during 2016 MWC (Mobile World Congress). Regulators from China, Japan, South Korea were invited, gathering more than 100 industrial leadersexperts from industry to share their latest spectrum release progressdiscuss to find a common approach on spectrum bands for 5G at the next WRC-19also to find how suitable are the existing IMT bands (from WRC-15) for deployment of 5G services. RRB Director General from MIIT, Xie Feibo, attended the meetingdelivered an important speech on Chinas 5G commercial timetablespectrum planning. According to the discussion, regulators from CJK achieved consensus on that more spectrum including sub-6GHzhigh frequency bands are needed for 5G, C-band is the key band of IMT spectrum below 6GHzharmonization is strongly recommand on 5G spectrum planning. The common ground formed during this summit on spectrum for 5G from the region will have a positive impactaccelerate developmentadoption of 5G technologies for both the regionglobal level. The collaboration among CJK will ensure them as the front runner of 5G in the long run.
