5G Spectrum Deployment Policies

The document outlines 5G spectrum deployment policies, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of various frequency bands including mmWave, C-band, and Sub-3 GHz. It emphasizes the multi-layer network structure of 5G, with mmWave focusing on traffic hotspots, C-band providing urban coverage, and Sub-3 GHz serving suburban and rural areas. The document also discusses performance comparisons and deployment strategies for each frequency band.
