ITU WRC-15 summary
Explanatory slide The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies Radiocommunication Assembly (RA) approve the program of work within ITU-R, revised or new ITU-R Resolutions and approve draft ITU-R Recommendations World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) the ITU-R WRCs are held every three or four years, are mandated to review and revise the Radio Regulations (RR), including the Table of Frequency Allocations, the international treaty governing the use of radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbit resources Conference Preparatory Meeting (CPM) prepare a consolidated report to be used in support of the work of WRC Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 2
WRC-15 The decisions made at the recent WRC-15 will indeed secure the successful future of 4G and 5G mobile broadband services to the benefit of many billions of consumers Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 3
Frequency ranges for 4G The following radio frequency bands and ranges are for the International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) mobile broadband systems (4G) to various degrees in countries as results of the WRC-15 Frequency bands / ranges 470 694 / 698 MHz (600 MHz) 694 790 MHz (700 MHz) 1427 1518 MHz (L-band) 3300 3400 MHz 3400 3600 MHz (C-band) 3600 3700 MHz (C-band) 4800 4990 MHz Remarks / geographical distribution in parts, in some countries in Americas, and in APAC global band, now also in EMEA, a result out of WRC-12 global band, in most countries global band, in many countries, not in Europe / North America global band, now in most countries, already allocated in Europe global band, in many countries, not in Africa / some in APAC some few countries in APAC, and one in Americas Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 4

WRC-19 Frequency bands will be studied within ITU for 5G in the period leading up to WRC-19; these bands ranging from 24.25 GHz up to 86 GHz will enable many new and very advanced services that will improve the life of people, especially those living in the larger cities Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 7
Frequencies for studies for 5G Frequency bands / ranges to be studied within ITU for 5G in the period leading up to WRC-19 Frequency bands / ranges 24.25 27.5 GHz 31.8 33.4 GHz 37.0 43.5 GHz 45.5 50.2 GHz 50.4 52.6 GHz 66 76 GHz 81 86 GHz Remarks notably the band 27.5 29.5 GHz was not included, but is however expected to play an important role for the development of 5G systems Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 8
Deployments of 5G systems It is expected that the mobile operators in Korea will deploy pre-commercial 5G networks during the Winter Olympic Games 2018, followed by first commercial deployments during the Summer Olympic Games 2020 in Japan.

WRC-23 the broadcasting and mobile industries in Europe will subsequent to the decision at WRC-15 on the so called TV UHF spectrum in the band 470 694 MHz have the time up to WRC-23 to jointly address the opportunity to adapt the mobile broadband technologies to better serve future terrestrial TV requirements Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 10
Summary the identification of spectrum for mobile broadband use, will indeed allow operators to provide capacity and coverage to serve the entirety of very challenging future consumer requirements for 4G and 5G services in urban as well as rural areas in all countries of the world Outcome of WRC-15 based on Provisional final acts Public Ericsson AB 2015 28 Nov 2015 Page 11
