| NOTAS: | "The ultimate performance of 5G depends on many technical and regulatory factors. One that doesn’t get the amount of attention it deserves is how networks can coexist in most efficient way possible. In a new report, the GSMA takes a closer look at why TDD synchronisation in the 3.5 GHz range is so important. The report and the included guidelines represent the GSMA’s views on synchronisation. It aims to inform policymakers and mobile operators on TDD synchronisation for 5G in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz). Furthermore, it provides the mobile community’s views on the preferred frame structure for initial 5G launches in 3.5 GHz. There is also basic information about how and why synchronisation can and should be achieved. The 3.5 GHz range has quickly become the premier option for commercial 5G deployments worldwide. Its ability to provide coverage and capacity combined with spectrum availability makes it that ideal candidate. This initial focus on one range is also resulting in a quickly developing ecosystem, with the launch of increasingly affordable devices. It offers regulators a chance to help propel 5G, by licensing as much as possible of the range in a way that helps drive investments and the best possible performance. A key part of the latter is TDD synchronisation." |
