FRANKFURT - The global telecoms industry on Tuesday demanded access to the high-capacity spectrum it says it needs to support data-intensive 5G services, accusing the space lobby of hogging frequencies in a way that could stunt the technology.
Such high-band spectrum, with frequencies of 26 Gigahertz and up, has the greatest capacity to transfer data - faster even than the mid-range spectrum already being used in some countries that can download a Hollywood movie to a smartphone in seconds. The GSMA’s call comes ahead of the World Radiocommunications Conference in Egypt, a month-long gathering starting on Oct. 28 where the 190 member nations of a United Nations telecoms forum will thrash out policy on high-band spectrum.
Tarnutzer dismissed those arguments as misinformation and said they threaten to delay the benefits of 5G that would also accrue to developing nations by, for example, making it possible to run ports and shipping more efficiently.
