Brattle Consultants Author First Issue of The Brattle TIME on Evolving Spectrum Value Drivers in a 5G Millimeter Wave World
Published by The Brattle Group
As mobile subscriptions and Internet of Things (IOT) connections continue to skyrocket, the emergence of 5G technology using the millimeter wave (mmW) spectrum – which has ultra-quick data transmission speeds and high capacity – is more important, and valuable, than ever.
In the first issue of The Brattle TIME, a regular update from Brattle’s Telecommunications, Internet, Media & Entertainment (TIME) practice, TIME Practice Co-Leaders Dr. Steve Herscovici and Dr. Paroma Sanyal explore how the new 5G architecture upends many assumptions about the wireless industry.
The new issue, “Evolving Spectrum Value Drivers in a 5G Millimeter Wave World,” draws from a Brattle report authored by Principal Dr. Coleman Bazelon, Senior Consultant Dr. Paroma Sanyal, Associate Dr. Jonathan Lee, Senior Research Analyst Ezra Frankel, and Research Analyst Ryan Taylor. The authors provide a look at how traditional spectrum valuation relationships will change in a 5G world, where mmW spectrum value is driven by capacity rather than coverage, and what future implications this will have.
