This document provides a summary of a proposed 5G deployment scenario in Egypt. It describes studying the candidate frequency bands for 5G in Egypt below 6 GHz through measurements at 13 points. The results found 700 MHz band is optimum for 4G and 5G, with 685-695 MHz for uplink and 710-720 MHz for downlink. Future work is proposed to study millimeter wave spectrum in Egypt, develop new regulatory tools for optimizing spectrum sharing, apply test cases for 5G technologies and services, and define which are suited for Egypt by considering the time factor in spectrum measurements.

35. • 700 MHz band is allocated for analog TV broadcasting. However,
in the near future the digital TV broadcasting will replace it thus we
can exploit 700 MHz band for 4G and 5G.
