UK makes a head start with 5G
British policy makers have claimed they are already looking at stage two of the country's superfast mobile broadband roll-out, through 5G, a month after the UK's 4G spectrum auction.
UK watchdog Ofcom is expected to launch an industry consultation this week on creating radio frequency space to run high-speed 5G internet services.
The UK?s 4G roll-out came considerably later than other developed countries, and this early movement towards 5G indicates an attempt to avoid delays for stage two, as well as address the increasing demand for higher capacity.
?There are three ways to meet the demand for more data ? more spectrum, better use of spectrum and more cell sites,? said Steve Unger, CTO at Ofcom.
?We need to progress on all three fronts, which is in effect what we mean by 5G, to meet the 80-fold increase in data usage we predict by 2030.?
