Among the JCRA’s duties is protecting and furthering the short-term and long-term interests of users of telecoms services in Jersey. We are presently considering how best to ensure Islanders can access and rely on high-quality next generation mobile services which meant examining and potentially reviewing the allocation of local radio spectrum in the 3.4-3.8 GHz band. Radio spectrum is an invisible finite resource used to wirelessly connect mobile phone users with the mobile networks of telecoms companies. After consultation and consideration, we have decided to proceed with defragmenting the 3.4-3.8 GHz spectrum band, which has been internationally designated as ideal for deploying 5G services. A link to the consultation outcome and decision document is shown below along with consultation responses.
