On May 28th, 2020, the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) published a study on the regulatory conditions to promote the adoption of 5G technology in Colombia. This study analyzes the technical characteristics of the technology, the level of commercial implementation at the international level, and projections for Latin America and Colombia.

Although the commercial implementation of 5G networks in Colombia is expected to develop in the medium term, the study reflects the current state of global 5G adoption. It presents valuable projections for Colombia and Latin America and suggests how to support their adoption through efficient regulation design for the deployment and modernization of mobile networks in the country.

In the study conducted by CRC, the Commission also analyzed the initial impact caused by COVID-19 on the deployment and development of 5G. It determined that there are indeed delays in the development of technical standards and spectrum auction processes in some countries; however, it also found an acceleration in the implementation of 5G, particularly in the health sector mainly in Asia.
