| NOTAS: | "A new study by Analysys Mason, sponsored by Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. examines 5G investment and coverage per European market, and calculates costs and benefits of 5G coverage across different 5G use cases.
The study considers the cost and extent of 5G coverage by population-led commercial deployments per European market using a combination of 700MHz, 3.5GHz and 26GHz bands, together with legacy mobile bands. The additional investment to extend 3.5GHz coverage beyond the population-led coverage to cover all road, rail and rural use cases (5G connectivity into homes and businesses via 5G FWA, and smart agriculture) is assessed along with the additional investment to deliver near-universal geographic coverage using 700MHz spectrum. Population-led investment and further 3.5GHz coverage is assumed to be provided on a commercial basis via multiple networks, whereas 3.5GHz coverage beyond the commercial footprint and reaching near-universal geographic coverage using 700MHz spectrum assumes a single network infrastructure." |
