The second half of this year is vitally important for the development of 5G in Europe, with a number of key policy and industry initiatives (European Commission Action Plan and RSPG opinion on 5G, industry manifesto for timely development of 5G in Europe and the review of the EU telecoms Package) set to shape the way Europe will move forward with the launch of 5G networks.

Against this backdrop, this one day interactive forum will look at the drivers behind the spectrum requirements for 5G and at the different frequency ranges that will be required to meet the requirements of various 5G technologies. It will discuss licensing aspects and potential technology enhancements to enable access to new spectrum, and more generally look at what needs to be done in Europe to ensure a spectrum strategy that pushes the region to the forefront of developments in this key area.
