Dish Network's Boost Mobile unit has laid claim to becoming the first operator to commercially implement carrier aggregation (CA) on its 5G network.

As expected, India's latest 5G spectrum auction has drawn to a close, raising far less than the government hoped.

Companies increased downlink speeds over 20% by using the latest 1024 QAM technology

Service offers customers dedicated 100G Wave routes across the continent in just five working days

DSIT are pleased to announce the three winners of the Spectrum Sandbox competition. Each Sandbox project will test sharing of spectrum in Ofcom licensed Sandbox environments to indicate how regulation could be improved to maximise the use of this scarce resource and the benefits to the economy.

Various efforts in the US from both sides of the political aisle to free up more mobile spectrum have gone down well in some quarters, but not so well in others.

Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has announced a regulatory sandbox designed to support trials for direct to device satellite connectivity.

Anatel’s board of directors have implemented the sandbox in light of Brazilian mobile providers Claro and TIM’s plans to conduct trials with AST Space Mobile.

New bill requires at least 1,250 megahertz of spectrum between 1.3-13.2 GHz be auctioned for full-power, licensed commercial use

EPSRC and DSIT have funded three future Telecoms Hubs and provided additional resources to bring them together in a federated structure, which will help deliver the six core areas identified in the Wireless Infrastructure Strategy.

• Quantum dots tuned to C-Band telecoms frequencies will be compatible with existing fibre-optic telecoms networks
• This offers enormous potential for global quantum telecoms networks and the quantum internet of the future 
• Tiny semiconductor particles can, according to their size,

More capacity for Wi-Fi and mobile internet users could be made available in the upper 6 GHz spectrum band, under a new approach being explored by Ofcom.
