700 Mhz båndet skal overgå til mobiltjenester i 2020

700 Mhz båndet der pt. blandt andet benyttes til terrestrisk tv, skal fra 2020 overgå til brug i forhold til mobile 5G tjenester. Det er man nået til enighed omkring i EU.

UHF frekvensbåndet løber fra 470-790 MHz og i forhold til frekvensområdet op til 700 Mhz så holdes dette fredet til fortsat tv brug foreløbig frem til 2030.

“Better spectrum coordination is vital to provide higher quality internet to all Europeans. It paves the way for 5G, the next generation of communication networks, and the internet of things. We made a first step today with a joint approach to use the 700 MHz band in the EU,” kommenterer Andrus Ansip, VP for the Digital Single Market.

“A coordinated strategy for the whole UHF band asserts our European vision,” udtaler Günther H. Oettinger, Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society.

“It ensures that Europeans can access innovative services and creative content on the move from their tablets and smartphones, as well as on smart TV sets at home. The coordinated release of the 700 MHz band is major leap forward on the Union’s path to 5G”.
