T
he Communications Regulatory
Authority (CRA) has published details
of its approved preliminary frequency
band plans for fifth generation (5G)
mobile services.
The CRA announced the readiness of the
700 MHz, 3500 MHz and 26 GHz bands
for the 5G technology.
This will allow service providers to start
with the preliminary official testing on
the pre-standard network, towards the
deployment of the standard networks
and providing 5G commercial services to
consumers by late 2018 and early 2019.
Details of the preliminary plans indicate
that the 700 MHz frequency band will be
deployed to accommodate the demand
of the service providers and for the
applications of the public protection and
disaster relief (PPDR).
The CRA will initiate a public consultation
regarding the frequency range which will be
assigned for Machine-to-machine (M2M)
and Internet of Things dapplications for
both broadband and narrowband in the
700 MHz frequency band.
For the 3500 MHz frequency band, CRA
will initially distribute the frequency
range 3400 to 3600 MHz with a
100 MHz bandwidth carrier for each
service provider. CRA will also take
into consideration the frequency
range of 3600 to 3800 MHz for future
assignments based on regional trends
which are still being co-ordinated.
