In the dynamic landscape of telecommunications, the global rollout of 5G networks is steering TowerCos toward an upsurge in infrastructure sharing. The Boston Consulting Group highlights, as demand intensifies, a strategic focus on sharing tailored 5G equipment, encompassing small cells, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and other key components not only emerges but becomes critical for TowerCo's to achieve their 5G rollout targets. https://lnkd.in/ePkK27xG This collaborative approach not only optimizes resource utilization but also accelerates the efficient deployment of advanced 5G networks. #5G #InfrastructureSharing #towercos #telecommunications

As a major investor in 5G and soon 6G networks in #Europe, Vantage Towers contributed to the European Commission public consultation on the White Paper: “How to master Europe’s digital infrastructure needs?”. Amongst several other topics, we commented in particular on: 📌 Spectrum policy & electromagnetic fields (EMF) exhaustion Harmonisation of spectrum management is a key enabler of the #DigitalSingleMarket and the limited EMF budget should be used more efficiently to increase infrastructure-based competition between operators at the same site, without changing the existing EMF limits. 📌 5G corridors 5G corridors will be important enablers for the Digital Single Market and pave the way for the “3C Network”. Several obstacles could be removed if hand-over connectivity at Member States’ borders and a permit for the full corridor were becoming a reality. Rethinking the fulfilment requirements of future spectrum obligations to allow for funded infrastructure to account for coverage targets in the case of 5G corridors would also boost the deployment of 5G connectivity alongside major transport paths. 📌 Land aggregation Access to the land on which the infrastructure is built is essential for TowerCos. While the Gigabit Infrastructure Act is a good first step, the practice of land aggregation still needs attention by policy-makers and regulators to avoid negative consequences for network rollouts and, ultimately, European end-users.

In the evolution of the 5G network, the interest in Open RAN (O-RAN) by operators is intensifying. Operators are putting their efforts into building more robust ecosystems of network infrastructure providers and suppliers. TEOCO's suite of network design and optimization solutions can help ensure O-RAN networks are deployed in the most optimum manner.
