What results has the NGMN Alliance achieved w.r.t. Spectrum?
The White Paper on “Spectrum Requirements for the Next Generation of Mobile Networks” supported the joint industry effort to obtain additional spectrum at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (WRC-07). Spectrum requests of the GSMA, UMTS-Forum and NGMN Alliance have been adopted at WRC-07 to a considerable extent, in particular w.r.t. the identification of new/additional spectrum in the upper UHF band and above 2.3 GHz. The NGMN Alliance is now assessing the implications of the WRC-07 results and will provide recommendations on actions to be taken to assure the world-wide implementation and interoperability of next generation mobile networks. Further information on the objectives and achievements of the NGMN Spectrum Working Group can be found at WORK PROGRAMME / SPECTRUM.
