We've added new research on 5G rollout in the European Union and updates to reflect the potential impact of the proposed Digital Networks Act.

The EU’s 5G rollout has been built around the harmonised “pioneer bands”: 700 MHz, 3.4–3.8 GHz, and 26 GHz. Six years after the deadline for member states to hold auctions…

The EU could face a "competitive disadvantage" amid a widening divergence from the US on which bands to use for 6G, according to a consultant.

Decisions about spectrum use in Europe are made both at the national and EU level. This research note explores the EU spectrum policy framework.

Fragmented and often delayed 5G spectrum awards across the Balkans have created a widening deployment gap between EU and non‑EU markets in the region.

India regulator TRAI has recommended spectrum in nine bands, including the 600 MHz band, for the country’s next auction—but not the upper 6 GHz band.

Satellite companies pursuing direct-to-device “want to have their feet on both boats," says the GSOA, which is also concerned about moves towards auctioning satellite spectrum.

Following major releases, online conversations and the keynote speeches this week, my main take is that satellite direct-to-device (D2D) technology has taken centre stage and will remain there for years…

EU member states have until 30 September 2026 to implement harmonised technical conditions for the band, marking a major step towards a unified framework for private networks.

Japanese mobile network operator au, a subsidiary of KDDI, has 3.5 million users for the satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service it offers in partnership with Starlink.

As satellite companies race to develop direct-to-device (D2D) services, the European Commission is working on a D2D project that it hopes will provide a European alternative for secure networking.

Lithuanian regulator RRT is preparing an auction of 700, 1500 and 2100 MHz spectrum.
