The case for high frequency mmWave deployments has shifted from pure densification to filling in capacity for congested areas, and also, through advanced beamforming, longer range applications where Line of Sight (LoS) can be achieved, including Fixed Wireless Access and temporary deployments such as construction sites. Such changes are reflected in the noises being made by regulators as they consult over impending licensing of the frequencies. UK regulator Ofcom has just identified congested areas such as train stations and football grounds as ripe for mmWave spectrum by boosting capacity and bit rate, in an attempt to attract interest in its consultation ahead of auctions of licenses for cities. The regulator argued both the 26GHz and 40GHz bands for 5G would…
