Europe is lagging behind other regions when it comes to making 700 MHz spectrum available for mobile, risking slower economic growth as a consequence, the GSMA has warned.
It's not often a technology company positions itself as the Switzerland of its sector, but Federated Wireless is doing just that as it strives to serve as the neutral heart of dynamic spectrum sharing.
Progress on harmonising the 700MHz band for mobile usage could help Europe catch up on other continents and avoid mistakes made with 800MHz, the GSMA has claimed.
Orange and SFR could face sanctions from the French regulator Arcep after they failed to meet requirements for rolling out 2G.
UK regulator Ofcom has identified very high frequency bands that can be used for forthcoming Internet of Things applications.
UK regulator Ofcom is proposing consumers and businesses self-install repeaters in a bid to improve indoor coverage.
The British Government has announced plans to uncork fresh spectrum, build a connected and driverless cars centre, and develop its own 5G services as part of its 2016 Budget.
The Global mobile Suppliers Association has formed a global spectrum group (GSG) with a view to taking a more active part in lobbying for spectrum for telcos.
Deutsche Telekom and Inmarsat's planned in-flight broadband network will begin testing this year, with the construction of LTE sites now underway.

Europe could wave goodbye to 3G before 2G disappears, the GSMA has claimed, as operators look to refarm existing holdings to feed growing LTE data usage.
Spectrum is the lifeblood of the mobile industry, with operators ever eager to get their hands on more. But a former Ofcom executive has claimed that instead of suffering from a bandwidth deficit, huge amounts of their holdings go unused every day.
