It’s been in development for awhile, but the 3GPP — the
organization that governs cellular standards — has officially signed off on the
first specification for 5G (specifically, the 5G NR standard) at a meeting in
Lisbon, Portugal, according to a report from Fierce Wireless.
Having a formal agreed upon standard of what 5G networks
will actually look like is a huge step forward for getting real, commercial 5G
networks up and running, as it gives companies a hard specification for what
they need to be building.
As expected, the finished 5G specification covers a wide
range of spectrum, ranging from the 600 and 700 MHz bands to the millimeter
wave portion of the spectrum at 50 GHz. We’ll know more when the finalized
standards are published later this week as to the exact details for 5G.
