The document presents a comprehensive analysis and several policy proposals regarding the future use and allocation of radio spectrum management rights in the 2300 MHz and 2600 MHz bands in New Zealand.
These bands are primarily used for advanced mobile services and regional connectivity solutions through the Managed Spectrum Park (MSP).
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), through Radio Spectrum Management (RSM), is initiating this review to define how these bands will be technically configured, how their future rights will be allocated, and their duration, seeking to maximize spectrum efficiency, promote competition, and ensure continuity of service.
WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?
The direct impact is on mobile operators, regional providers and users of the Managed Spectrum Park (MSP), equipment manufacturers and vendors of 4G/5G/5G SA technology, and end users.
CONCLUSION:
The process described is strategic and has a high impact because it redefines who can use, and under what conditions, two of the key bands for 4G and 5G in New Zealand for the coming decades.
