The 4G spectrum was still not accepted fully, when Ofcom
decided to come up with the provision of 5G mobile broadband. The experts
working on this anticipate the mobile data capacity to increase by about 25%
after its release in a span of just few years.
Ofcom meanwhile has identified a number of spectrum
bands that are new and can prove good for the future mobile broadband use. Just
two on this front are 2.3 and 3.4 GHz bands, which presently are being used by
the Ministry of Defense. The 700 MHz is another spectrum, which is in use by
the digital terrestrial TV. Also, there are many more such spectrum bands,
which are speculated by Ofcom to prove of great help for mobile data in the
longer run.
The identified spectrum is believed to be seven
times the amount of spectrum released as 4G as per Ofcom. The combination of
mobile technology like 5G and the addition of more improved mobile networks are
expected to boost the mobile data capacity by about 25 times from the time in
between present and the year 2030.
In addition to improved mobile services for users,
the 5G spectrum can help in supporting M2M or machine to machine communication,
which is a crucial supporter of the ‘internet of things’, just like the online
one.
This blend of technology is speculated to bring in
great reforms and changes in many areas like healthcare, energy, transport, and
agriculture, to begin with. By the end of 2020, it’s expected that about 50
billion devices will become a part of the internet connectivity arena,
considering the whole of earth.
This new spectrum is expected to bring in many new
inventions for users and is considered to be the future of mobile spectrum. The
development of one of the prime digital economies seems to become real with 5G
spectrum. Well, all this is currently on-paper and would surely need some time
to get materialized. To know how much, just relax and keep waiting!
