It is striking the importance that is having in our lives-at least, in that of those who comb gray hair-the letter G, that has marked entire generations.In the seventies, the series Commando G woke up the children of lethargy caused by cartoons coming from Eastern countries (bad vibes); in the eighties, Point G and Los Hombres G marked the first love experiences of those same children, already teenagers, and their clueless parents; and, for not lengthening us, in our days the 5G will realize the promise of total connectivity in a world riddled with networks. In all times, that is why the powerful gentleman is Don Dinero, the The most important G has been that of the G8.The case is that, finally, there has been the auction of the new licenses for the use of radioelectric spectrum necessary for the development of future mobile networks and the result is that the three main Spanish telecommunications operators already have the necessary shoes to start running in this race into the future. Among all of them, Orange is the best equipped to start this competition, because it has 10 MHz more than its rivals in the 3.6 GHz band, a priority to offer 5G services.
the G-spot of future communications
Beyond what the future holds for us thanks to 5G technology, which is like the excitable G-spot of the future of communications, the auction of the spectrum necessary for its development is already contributing to our most everyday present , since the coffers of the State have collected from Orange, Movistar and Vodafone a total of (not missing a decimal) 1,410,667,069.11 euros. It is not surprising that the Ministry of Economy and Business has made a "very positive" assessment of the result of the auction of spectrum licenses for 5G.
As for how the distribution of this spectrum is, Orange has acquired 60 MHz for 132 million euros which, added to the 40 MHz that it already had in the low stretch of 3.5 GHz (3,400 MHz-3,600 MHz), make it the operator with the most spectrum in this band, identified as the main one for the introduction of 5G-based services in Europe.
Vodafone, the only one of the operators that lacked frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band, object of the bidding, has been the one that has acquired the most amount of spectrum, when it won 90 megahertz (MHz) for 198.1 million. Telefonica has acquired 50 MHz for which it has paid 107.4 million and already accumulates 90 MHz in that band, while MasMovil, which also bid, has not acquired frequencies in the tender and keeps the 80 MHz that it already had.
But what is 5G for?
Technology has its own terminology and, sometimes, citizens get lost in nomenclatures that throw us away from what is really important, what are all these advances? At Nobbot we have already spoken long and hard about 5G, but we don't mind repeating, because it's important.
As Laurent Paillassot explains, the CEO of Orange, a company that has taken advantage in the race to get the radioelectric spectrum necessary for the development of 5G, «is an evolution and, at at the same time, of a revolution: an evolution because it means still faster access to the Internet, greater speed, better access since we are multiplying speed by 100, and this will make possible the growth of virtual reality, of reality augmented and cloud computing. However, the revolution is more important because it will change the way people interact, live, enjoy and work, and the way companies manage their businesses.
and now the 5G pilots
Now, after clarifying the panorama of the spectrum that each operator has and for this G-spot to take effect in the future and make it more exciting, it's time to start the pilots on this technology. In any case there is no pressing rush since the promises of this technology-low latency, great speeds, a new ecosystem of connected objects, etc.-require, to become a reality, million-dollar investments by operators-it is estimated that more than 5,000 million, only in infrastructure, deployment and spectrum-that will have to deploy a network very capillary and virtualized.In addition, there are still to define technological standards and explore ways for the return of this investment, as explained by Manuel Sanchez Malagon , director of network planning at Orange Espana,
