Belgium’s Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) has proposed the issue of temporary 5G licenses in the 3.5 GHz band to avoid further delays in the country’s 5G rollout plans.
Existing 2G and 3G licenses in Belgium are due to expire in 2021. The regulator was initially expecting to re-assign spectrum in the 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, and 2.1 GHz bands in a single process that would also include 3.5 GHz spectrum.
