Some smaller nations will have even less access to 3.5GHz services, including Slovakia (17%) and Slovenia (22%). At the same date, 41% of the French population is expected to be covered and 43% of GermanyвЂ™s. By 2025, the study estimates the population coverage of 3.5GHz services will range from 24% in Norway and 29% in Finland to 53% in Spain and to 68% in the United Kingdom, no longer part of the EU. Population-led investment and further 3.5GHz coverage is assumed to be provided on a commercial basis via multiple networks, whereas 3.5GHz coverage beyond the commercial footprint and reaching near-universal geographic coverage using 700MHz spectrum assumes a single network infrastructure.ДЄnalysys Mason estimates the total cost of building and maintaining 5G networks across Europe will be EUR150 billion over the next 20 years. The additional investment to extend 3.5GHz coverage beyond the population-led coverage to cover all road, rail and rural use cases (5G connectivity into homes and businesses via 5G FWA, and smart agriculture) is assessed along with the additional investment to deliver near-universal geographic coverage using 700MHz spectrum. The study considers the cost and extent of 5G coverage by population-led commercial deployments per European market using a combination of 700MHz, 3.5GHz and 26GHz bands, together with legacy mobile bands.

examines 5G investment and coverage per European market, and calculates costs and benefits of 5G coverage across different 5G use cases. A new study by Analysys Mason, sponsored by Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
