Advantages of NPN
based on LTE
• Range / Link
Budget
• Spectral
Efficiency /
Capacity
• Configurable QoS
• Mobility
• High to Low Rate
Scaling
• Roadmap to 5G
Coverageguaranteed coverage at their facility or location by installing their own network indoors and at campus locations
Capacityfull and exclusive use of available capacity; ability to configure up-/downlink and set usage policy; engineer the network according to specific demands
Controlhow resources are utilized and traffic is prioritized to optimize reliability and latency
Security & Privacyto ensure that sensitive information does not leave the premises
end-2-end traceabilityability to trace in all components of a local network to promise reliability and SLA.

Private in LTE and 5Gfor the Enterprise
• Enterprises can operate
Private networks in
spectrum that is owned
• shared via SAS
• Enterprises get their
localized (campus) license
• Carriers sublicense their
spectrum to enterprises
• Operation in unlicensed
spectrum, i.e. U-NII-3 (5.725
.. 5.825 GHz) band

Spectrum for NPN accessIndustry interest into unlicensed, private, local or regional 5G licenses
• Global harmonization
of NPN spectrum is
not likely to happen
with various spectrum
options considered
globally
• Licenses in UK and DE
to be granted on a “per
location” basis
following a “first come
- first serve” principle
at a handling cost level
• U.S. government is
making 150 MHz of
spectrum available on
a lightly-licensed,
shared-access basis
using a three-tiered
model
Germany (the German Federal Network Agency/BNetzA): 3.4-3.8 GHz band for 5G
• Band 3.4-3.7 GHz is to be allocated on a nationwide basis and auctioned to Mobile Network
Operators (DTAG, Vodafone, Telefonica, United Internet)
• Band 3.7-3.8 GHz is to be used on a local basis by individual companies (Already 15 companies are
interested in local or regional licenses for the use of 5G in factories, i.e. automotive, energy and
automation, chemical and prof. audio.)
Sweden PTS most likely to follow Germany
UK (announced during CWIC 2019 in July by Ofcom)
• Access to spectrum for local coverage; possibility of “private local networks” for applications such
as Industry 4.0 in 1800 MHz, 2.39 GHz, 3.8-4.2 GHz and 24.25-26.5 GHz (in building)
• Licenses can be granted in blocks of 10 MHz and in principle up to 100 MHz
Japan
• 4.5-4.6GHz (band n79) and 28.2 – 29.1 GHz (part of n257) for private use
US
• CBRS is technology agnostic and can be used by enterprises to create own private LTE networks in
3.5GHz (B42/48)band with150 MHz spectrum.
