No guest this week but we do have a special member of the audience this as the Telecoms.com empire continues to grow. The guys start by looking at BT’s latest attempt to rescue its sport division and what that says about telcos betting on content. They move on to ponder the matter of how useful millimetre wave spectrum is before concluding with a look at the effect Russia sanctions are having on the industry.
Samsung wants tens of Gigahertz of contiguous millimetre wave spectrum so we can all enjoy the myriad benefits of 6G holograms.
Question marks are appearing over the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for 5G, with growth in investments in the sector slowing last year.
The government of Belgium’s Wallonia region has given the go-ahead for an increase in radiation limits for 5G, but is sticking to its guns on health concerns about millimetre wave.
During MWC Barcelona 2022 Intracom Telecom presented its technological innovations on the 28 GHz FDD hub radio WiBAS™ G5 dual-BS and on the 24/26/27/28 GHz TDD hub radio WiBAS™ G5 smart-BS that enhance the density of subscribers and the speed of connection. The company also demonstrated a new ground-breaking 30 Gbps E-Band radio using a single 2 GHz channel, the UltraLink™-XR80 that is ideal for use in 5G-era RAN xHaul use cases.

Optus has shared details of a lab trial that saw it aggregate 3.5 GHz frequencies with spectrum in the 26 GHz mmWave band to enable it to provide high-speed 5G connectivity over a wider area.
TPG Telecom has been on a 5G spectrum shopping spree of late and has just augmented its stock of 3.6GHz frequencies in six cities through a swap with Dense Air.
Millimetre wave might not be so rubbish after all, with a group of intrepid telecoms boffins managing to set a new range record.
The deployment of millimetre wave (mmWave) spectrum for 5G in Europe will bring a huge economic benefit, according to a new report by Analysys Mason.
Verizon has achieved speeds of 4.3 Gbps in a lab trial that saw it aggregate C-band and mmWave spectrum.
Australia has allocated the vast majority of the 26 GHz spectrum it has available, raising A$647.6 million (just over US$500 million) in the process.
Verizon really does have the fastest 5G in the world, or at least it is allowed to make that claim through its advertising, according to an advertising standards ruling this week.
