2. Welcomes the gigabit society targets of attaining network speeds of 100Mbps for all European consumers and, in the long term, of between 1Gbps and 100Gbps for the main socio-economic drivers, such as digitally intensive businesses, major transport hubs, financial institutions and schools; notes that those targets imply major public and private investment;
Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out that 5G systems will need to be able to operate over a very wide frequency range: from less than 1GHz up to 100GHz, and with a maximum potential ofeven up to 300GHz; notes that frequencies of 3-6GHz and aboveup to 10GHz should deliver extreme data rates and extreme capacity in dense areasare particularly promising, especially in dense areas; points out, further, that choices will need to be made as regards which spectrum bands to use, as some are already in use (Wi-Fi, satellite, radar systems, etc.), or it will need to be established that shared usage is a possibility;
Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that a coherent spectrumEuropean strategy, including national roadmap that is as integrated as possible, including national roadmaps that are coordinated as regards spectrum and timetables, is needed in order to meet the challenges of 5G, addressing human, machine-to- machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) communications at various levels: connection speed, mobility, latency, duty cycle, reliability, etc.;
Amendment 77 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Points out that the constructionrollout of 5G wireless networks will requires flexibl, on the one hand efficient use of all available non- contiguous parts of the spectrum, including 700Mhz band, for widely different network deployment scenarios, with a clear emphasis on harmonising the availabl, a substantial strengthening of fixed backhaul infrastructure (probably via fibre) and cell densification (preferably via the sharing of passive infrastructure), and, on the other hand, efficient use of the available non-contiguous parts of the spectrum, as well as a gradual migration of the spectrum bands on usage a lregional basisady in use for mobile communications (2G, 3G, 4G);
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Notes that sector players should benefit from a predictable level playing field and should enjoy the flexibility to design their own networks, choosing their investment model and the most appropriate technology, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), Wi-Fi, G.fast, 2G, cable, satellite or any other rapid development technologies that will help connect all Europeans to VHC networks;
Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Believes that 5G is more than an evolution of mobile broadband and that it will be a key enabler of the future digital world as the next generation of ubiquitous ultra-high broadband infrastructure that will support the transformation of processes in all economic sectors (public sector, healthcare, energy, utilities, manufacturing, transportation, the automotive industry, virtual reality (VR), online gaming and so forth) and should provide agile, elastic and highly personalised services that will improve every citizen’s life;
Amendment 110 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that in rolling out 5G, stakehould be instrumental in tackling the digital divide and in improving internet take-up, especially iners must ensure that they do not repeat some of the mistakes made in the past, by undertaking not to widen the digital divide between urban and/or densely populated areas, and rural and/or remote areas;
Amendment 136 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Stresses that the development of 5G technologies is a cornerstone for transforming the ICT network infrastructure towards all-encompassing smart connectivity: smart cars, smart grids, smart cities, smart factories and beyond; believes that ultrafast broadband and intelligent, efficient network features that achieve near-instantaneous connectivity between people, human-to-machine and connected machines will come to redefine end user connectivity, which will be enabled by radio access network paradigms such as mesh networks, dynamic network slicing and softwarisation technologies; emphasises that the latter must not in any way erode the rights and freedoms of the end user, and that the concept of network ‘slices’ will need to be considered in the light of EU rules on net neutrality;
Amendment 139 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Believes that the promises that 5G will enable new high-quality services, connect new industries and ultimately improve the customer experience for increasingly sophisticated and demanding digital users are great in theory;
Amendment 145 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Considers that the development and improvement of digital skills should take place through major investment in education with two main objectives: training a highly skilled workforce able to retain and create technoloo give citizens (and future citizens) the tools they need to take control of their digictal jobs andexistence, putting an end to digital illiteracy –, which is a cause of digital divide and exclusion, and to train a highly skilled workforce that is capable of retaining and creating jobs in the field of technology;
Amendment 176 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Stresses that commercialprivate investments should be supported by a policy andredictable regulatory environment tailored to predictability and the certainty of return on investments, and should not be delayed by overly ambitious public schemes that may impede 5G rolloutframework that can guarantee return on investment within a reasonable timeframe, and provide consumer protection;
Amendment 198 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Notes that each sector should work out its own roadmap for standardisation, relying on industry-led processes, with a strong desire to reach common standards that have the potential to become worldwide standards; points out, furthermore, that in addition to this bottom-up approach, Europe must defend its place within global bodies that have a say when it comes to standardisation;
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Highlights that the development of the gigabit society requires fewer and simpclear rules, which should b that are future- oriented, pro-investment, and pro-innovation and based on an assessment of market competition; stresses that infrastructure- based competition offers the potential for less regulation and allows for a fair long- term return on investmentsgive consumers a wide choice of services at a reasonable price;
Amendment 239 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Supports the Commission’s proposed plan to set up spectrum harmonisation and long-term licence durations of at least 25 years, which will increase the stability and certainty of investments; notes that the decisions on these issues should be taken at the same time in all Member States to adopt binding guidance on certain conditions of the assignment process; to make that possible, calls for a revision of the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme, the original goal of which – for 1200 MHz of spectrum to be set aside for wireless broadband in Europe by 2015 – was met in impressive fashion thanks to a concerted and inclusive approach;
