IS THERE A NEED FOR PRIVATE 5G NETWORKS?
Coverage Capacity Control
Organisations can
guarantee coverage
at their facility or
location by planning
and installing their
own networks
Without contention
with other network
users, enterprises can
make full and
exclusive use of
available capacity
Private operators can
determine which
users connect, how
resources are utilised
and how traffic is
prioritised

3300 MHZ TO 4800 MHZ BANDS FOR PRIVATE 5G NETWORKS
• Development of 5G for 3300-3400 and 4800-5000 MHz band
• 3GPP is working on specifications of Rel.15 5G NR, which support the 3300-3800 and 4400-5000 MHz bands
• In China the 4800-5000 MHz band, and in Japan the 4400-4900 MHz band, are parts of the
frequency bands for 5G trials.
• China MIIT’s decision on using 3300-3600 and 4800-5000 MHz bands for 5G (Nov.15th 2017)
• The 3300-3600 and 4800-5000 MHz frequency bands will be used for 5G
• The 3300-3400 MHz should be used indoor, in principle
• Japan MIC is studying for spectrum to be used for 5G
• The 3600-4200 and 4400-4900 MHz frequency bands are being studied in addition to other frequency bands.
• Objective to release maximum 500 MHz bandwidth from 3600-4200 and 4400-4900 MHz by around March 2019.
• CBRS in US
• Shared spectrum proposals could unleash a 4G rush to deploy private LTE networks creating competition to
established players
Consideration of spectrum initiatives in other regions

GATING FACTORS FOR 4G AND 5G PRIVATE NETWORKS
Ecosystem Spectrum Spectrum Sharing
Mobile Operators will
probably need to be
engaged to ensure
the Ecosystem for
private 5G develops
For the Private
Network industry to
prosper access to
Spectrum will be
paramount
New Spectrum will
become available:
balance access
between MNO and
Enterprise
Continuity of Service will be at the heart of any new enterprise initiatives
