Frequency Spectrum Management

Introduction

• Kenya is in transformation towards a knowledge-based

economy (technology and innovation)

• ICT plays a key role both as innovative economy sector

and also a catalyst for other sectors

• ICT is a key enabler of vision 2030 goals and aspirations

and the Big 4 Agenda

• ICTs play a critical role in facilitating businesses and

service delivery

• CA Strategic plan

Roadmap towards 5G/IoT

• WRC-19 Agenda item 1.13—ITU-R conducted technical studies on identification of spectrum for

IMT in bands between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz, and decisions on suitable frequency bands taken during the WRC-19 conference

• The Authority has been participating in the ITU-R technical studies for 5G and Internet of

Things (IOT) and presented technical study papers to facilitate access to 5G spectrum

• 5G spectrum—both: below 6 GHz (replanning 3.5 GHz), evolution of LTE and above 6 GHz, new

radio access technology mm-wave (e.g. above 26 GHz)

• 5G trials Partnerships between academia and Industry (operators and vendors) to test 5G

systems

• IoT a major driver of 5G…. 5G a major enabler of IoT
• Key spectrum for IoT – existing ISM bands, licensed GSM & LTE bands and above 6 GHz may

be used for future IoT

• 5G is not the only next step ‘4.5G’ and ‘1 Gbps LTE’ driven by carrier aggregation
• 5G technology will be a major driver for spectrum sharing
