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!
