The Case for Wireless Transmission Wideband Channels- From Macroeconomics to Standardization  

Nowadays connectivity needs to be viewed as a critical resource, without which the economic and social prosperity of nations are at risk. The limiting factor to the provision of high-capacity connectivity is bandwidth. Regulators have the power to unleash growth in GDP and the population’s general well-being by allowing wideband channels.

In this white paper we discuss what the technological recommendations for wireless transmission channel sizes are. We then look at the efforts being made in different countries around the globe to implement wideband channels, with the goal to unleash the potential benefits that 5G can bring to society as a whole.
