SUBTEL expanded the spectrum available for private and industrial networks from the 2300 MHz band through 2360 MHz, providing a total of 60 MHz for efficient technologies such as 5G and later generations. Use of the full 60 MHz is conditioned on efficient technology; 4G requests remain possible but are limited to 40 MHz.

Service areas must be specific and geographically delimited, including indoor environments, and SUBTEL will evaluate containment and interference protection.

Impact

Impact assessment: High.

Key reasons: The final spectrum expansion creates a concrete deployment opportunity and country-specific RF conditions for private-network infrastructure and devices.

Who is affected?

Private-network operators, industrial users, mining companies, equipment manufacturers, radio-module suppliers, integrators, laboratories, importers, spectrum consultants and approval teams.

Conclusion:

Map supported channels and bandwidths against the 2300-2360 MHz framework, separate 4G and 5G configurations, confirm equipment approval status, and prepare site-specific interference and containment evidence before requesting deployment authorisation.
