\tEricsson and the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) issued a set of recommendations for enhanced spectrum development to address connectivity challenges across the continent.<\/p>\n

The recommendations are the first fruit of a collaboration the pair agreed in June 2020 to encourage coordination of spectrum usage as a means of decreasing the cost of technology and deliver affordable services in Africa.<\/p>\n

In a report, Ericsson and ATU argued a limited amount of spectrum is currently allocated to the mobile and other communication industries, arguing this posed hurdles to Africa’s digital transformation.<\/p>\n

They recommended authorities grant spectrum \u201cin a timely, predictable and cost-effective fashion\u201d to pave the way for \u201caffordable, high-quality delivery\u201d of communication services and encourage smart technology initiatives.<\/p>\n

African nations should also conduct \u201ctechnology neutral\u201d spectrum licensing and adopt an approach of promoting \u201cthe right mix of low-, mid- and high-band radio spectrum\u201d, to ensure all operators have access.<\/p>\n

Another suggestion involves giving licensees “the right to share spectrum voluntarily”.<\/p>\n

Ericsson and the ATU pledged to work on implementing the guidelines alongside countries and other stakeholders in the region.<\/p>\n

Licensing lag
\nAfrica trails other global markets in terms of issuing spectrum for mobile services, GSMA Intelligence spectrum lead analyst Dennisa Nichiforov-Chuang explained.<\/p>\n

Nichiforov-Chuang told Mobile World Live local governments had awarded approximately 80MHz per operator on average, and 250MHz per country by end-2019. The global average was almost double, with 150MHz per operator and 480MHz per country.<\/p>\n

GSMA Intelligence research also found a delay in spectrum allocation [1], mostly due to regulation, she noted.<\/p>\n
