Key developments
The 18th 5G Observatory report (downloadable in full here) covers all the latest developments towards EU 5G targets and policies, as well as international trends. The report takes account of recent major spectrum auctions in Estonia, Romania, Ireland, Croatia in Spain, which increases the total percentage of assigned pioneer bands across Member States to 68%.
An increase in 5G coverage was also observed, with 81% of the EU’s population now covered by at least one operator offering 5G services.
In a newly published editorial featured in the report, we consider the recent wave of interest in satellite direct-to-handset (D2D) services and consider what merit these solutions may have in Europe.
In addition to the newly published report, the online sections of the 5G Observatory website have now been updated. These include the interactive European 5G scoreboard, as well as the interactive International Scoreboard.
