The GSMA noted that these outcomes at the treaty conference, which has the power to change international agreements on the use of radio spectrum, will allow the mobile sector to plan the next wave of communications development through 5G-Advanced and beyond. It added that for mobile, referred to at the ITU as international mobile technologies (IMT), WRCs serve an essential role in harmonising spectrum which will ensure economies of scale and facilitate planning for new spectrum bands to address data growth and deliver a future of sustainable connectivity.Low-band spectrum is ideal for covering wide areas with lower population density, and makes it an important resource that can deliver digital equality. The GSMA believes access to connectivity should not be dependent on where a person lives, and progress on low-band spectrum will help ensure that digital equality is achieved between urban and rural areas. In low and middle-income countries, adults are 29% less likely to use the mobile internet if they live in a rural area compared with their urban counterparts. The association said increasing low-band capacity can help support better rural networks.The 6GHz band is regarded as potentially lucrative, and rights to exploit it have been a contentious issue for both the international mobile telecommunications (IMT) sector and the Wi-Fi industry. Even though opportunities exist to use the upper 6GHz band for Wi-Fi services, comms operators have argued that with the lower part already assigned to mobile comms technology in many countries and 5G networks facing capacity restrictions before the end of this decade, mobile network operators strongly believe that allocating the upper section to IMT would be the best outcome for customers, industries and digital societies in general.WRC-23 saw the 6 GHz spectrum as the harmonised home for the expansion of mobile capacity for 5G-Advanced and beyond. WRC-23 also set out a path towards greater digital equality by defining mobile use of more low-band spectrum in the 470-694 MHz band in EMEA, which can help expand capacity for the internet connectivity of rural communities as their signals reach over wide areas. WRC-23’s new low-band mobile allocations will be an important tool to break down the barriers towards digital equality in the EMEA region and lower the urban/rural connectivity divide.GSMA head of spectrum Luciana Camargos added: “Over half the world is connected to the mobile internet today. But, as mobile connectivity develops, we need to ensure that we can deliver services for everyone. The great legacy of WRC-23 will be in allowing us to do so sustainably, affordably and in a way that delivers for the whole planet. We cannot stop here – WRC-23 is only the starting gun, and now governments will need to act on its decisions, enabling new mobile technologies that embrace sustainability and unleashing the full potential of mobile to deliver a better tomorrow for our planet.” -- ???????? | |||
