Roadmap towards 5G/IoT  WRC-19 Agenda item 1.13—ITU-R conducted technical studies on identification of spectrum for IMT in bands between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz, and decisions on suitable frequency bands taken during the WRC-19 conference  The Authority has been participating in the ITU-R technical studies for 5G and Internet of Things (IOT) and presented technical study papers to facilitate access to 5G spectrum  5G spectrum—both: below 6 GHz (replanning 3.5 GHz), evolution of LTE and above 6 GHz, new radio access technology mm-wave (e.g. above 26 GHz)  5G trials Partnerships between academia and Industry (operators and vendors) to test 5G systems  IoT a major driver of 5G…. 5G a major enabler of IoT  Key spectrum for IoT – existing ISM bands, licensed GSM & LTE bands and above 6 GHz may be used for future IoT  5G is not the only next step ‘4.5G’ and ‘1 Gbps LTE’ driven by carrier aggregation  5G technology will be a major driver for spectrum sharing 10
