Allocating harmonized mid-band spectrum for 5G technologuy can unlock approximately $200 billion for the U.S economy over the next 10 years, according to a new study by Accenture, which was commissioned by wireless industry association CTIA.
The report noted that there is a risk of America’s wireless industry limiting its “future leadership of the global wireless ecosystem” if embracing 5G spectrum allocation is not fully supported. This could also impact adjacent industries that leverage wireless technology such as manufacturing, utilities, and others in the U.S., the study finds.
