Presented virtually by Andy Sutton, Principal Network Architect, BT Technology on 06 Aug 2020. Andy provides an update and review of the transformational plans, capabilities and outcomes from 5G deployments in the UK. 5G networks are already enabling a step change in the range and capability of innovative applications from IoT to robotics. That pace of change is due to accelerate as 5G moves from its initial enhanced mobile broadband phase to deliver ultra-reliable and low latency communications along with massive machine type connectivity. *** SHARED WITH PERMISSION ***

Ofcom and RSPG has identified three pioneer bands for 5G in Europe 700 MHz band - to provide a coverage layer 2 x 30 MHz + 20 MHz centre gap - SDL - January 2021 3.4 - 3.8 GHz band - to provide a large amount of contiguous spectrum for high-data rate and low-latency services and a capacity solution in congested areas 150 MHz in the 3.4 - 3.6 GHz band in 2018 (auction complete) 120 MHz in 3.6 - 3.8 GHz band to be auctioned in January 2021 26 GHz band - to provide “fibre-like” data rates and very low latencies at short distance, as a capacity solution in very congested hotspots 24.25 - 27.5 GHz - date tbd - lower 2.25 GHz is currently available for low-power in-building solutions [Note: Existing bands will be refarmed (repurposed from 2G, 3G & 4G) and more new bands are likely in the future…] 6

- 24. Summary • 5G supports enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra Reliable and Low latency Communications (URLLC) along with massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) • 5G opens up new and exciting opportunities for industry verticals, including private/non-public networks - it’s a lot more than just faster Internet to smartphones… • 5G will be deployed across a wide range of frequency bands to address a range of use cases and deployment scenarios • 5G will operate in fully licensed, license shared access and unlicensed spectrum • Next Generation Core network will enable new services such as network slicing, low latency services and private/non-public network 24
