16 billion euros of the gigantic economic stimulus program, wants to put the government alone in digitisation projects. Clear that there is also money for the networks, it must be. And so some of the projects where you don’t win directly through government financial aid, but of better networks can benefit at a closer Look.
Better mobile network in a train
The mobile networks in the trains of the Deutsche Bahn and other providers are slower than they could be. The backgrounds had reported a few weeks ago, the colleagues of the Golem. In the trains for driving the GSM-R operation is used-Standard. This funct on similar frequencies, such as the public mobile radio networks, the also you use.
in Particular, the frequency band around 900 MHz is, however, problematic, since it is also used for LTE. In the case of not well-shielded GSM-R devices LTE interferes with the train radio. Therefore, the mobile service provider must respect the rules of the public networks are down. With 150 million euros, the Federal government will now support the conversion. In the result, Telekom, Vodafone and O2 to improve their networks, along with 39,000 kilometers of rail routes.
economic recovery program for the 5G-Expansion
The Federal government wants to accelerate the mobile network expansion in Germany. So far, it can take up to two years, until a cell tower is approved and built. In the future, this is supposed to happen in three months.
Thus, the construction of masts is faster, it wants to establish in Germany a new mobile infrastructure company. The mobile infrastructure company of the Federal government (MIG) is to take over the tasks of the Federal network Agency. With 5 billion euros in the last of the white spots in Germany are to be closed. Even more: by 2025, Germany aims to get a nationwide 5G network. Details on this one, however, remains guilty. So, it is unclear how the surface of the deck defines the end of the 5G network, which could be quite easy with the reallocation of frequencies to achieve. Because of the conversion of, for example, UMTS frequencies, you will achieve some, but not all, of the characteristics of 5G.
glass-fiber-Expansion
The Expansion of high-speed Internet lines in the country is often not economical. Development programs are to help, however, that everyone gets in Germany, a fast Internet connection via optical fiber. However, these programs are often too complicated for the municipalities. That’s why the Federal government wants to make it less bureaucratic now “the conveyor system, and further develop, as well as the necessary resources”.
technology leader
With a further 2 billion euros from the economic stimulus program in Germany wants to ensure that the country is in 5G “and perspective 6G” can play a leading role “in the world’s top technology provider”. The state wants to promote “innovative companies in the development and testing of new, software-controlled network technologies in a targeted manner.” Also the improvement in the Interaction of network components from different manufacturers is available here, together with the enforcement of open Standards on the Agenda. The keyword for the industry connoisseurs: OpenRAN.
