PUNE, India, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ ReportsnReports added The Shared & Unlicensed Spectrum LTE/5G Network Ecosystem: 2021 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts Report to its online research library.
As the 5G era advances, the cellular communications industry is undergoing a revolutionary paradigm shift, driven by technological innovations, liberal regulatory policies and disruptive business models. One important aspect of this radical transformation is the growing adoption of shared and unlicensed spectrum – frequencies that are not exclusively licensed to a single mobile operator.
Telecommunications regulatory authorities across the globe have launched innovative frameworks to facilitate the coordinated sharing of licensed spectrum, most notably the United States three-tiered CBRS scheme for dynamic sharing of 3.5 GHz spectrum, Germany s 3.7-3.8 GHz licenses for private 5G networks, the United Kingdom s shared
Telecom Italia deploys O-RAN network
Telecom Italia (TIM) has deployed its first O-RAN network in Europe – establishing a 4G service in the city of Faenza near Bologna provided by JMA Wireless of the US.
The radio node on the 4G network was built by combining JMA’s software baseband with the radio units provided by Microelectronics Technology (MTI) of Taiwan.
“This initiative will see the group implement new solutions on its commercial network to benefit customers and businesses thereby speeding up the deployment of digital services,” says TIM, “the initiative is covered by the signing of a memorandum of understanding last February with the main European operators to promote open RAN technology with the aim of speeding up the implementation of new generation mobile networks, in particular 5G, cloud and edge computing.

PUNE, India, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ ReportsnReports added LTE & 5G NR-Based CBRS Networks Market: 2020 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts with 486 no. of pages report to its online research library.
After many years of regulatory, standardization and technical implementation activities, the United States dynamic, three-tiered, hierarchical framework to coordinate shared use of 150 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) band has finally become a commercial reality. Although the shared spectrum arrangement is access technology neutral, the 3GPP cellular wireless ecosystem is at the forefront of CBRS adoption given the desirability of mid-band spectrum for both LTE and 5G NR network buildouts due its optimal blend of propagation characteristics and capacity.
City of Faenza is location for initial deployment
JMA Wireless and MTI are the key Open RAN tech partners
TIM is one of the European operator heavyweights championing Open RAN
TIM (Telecom Italia) has introduced Open RAN technology into its commercial mobile network in the city of Faenza, located in the north-east province of Ravenna, making it one of the first operators in Europe, and certainly the first in Italy, to follow up its verbal commitment to disaggregated radio access network architectures with an early deployment.
The operator isn’t saying how many 4G/LTE cell sites already have the Open RAN technology deployed, or how many customers could be served currently using the disaggregated RAN architecture, but says it will expand its deployment throughout the year and have “full coverage of Faenza,” a small city with a population of about 70,000, this year, with other cities to be added to the Open RAN rollout schedule during 2021.
