5G licensing

5G licensing involves telecommunications companies acquiring rights from government authorities to use specific radio frequencies, or spectrum, for their mobile networks. Because spectrum is limited and valuable, regulators auction or allocate these licenses to ensure fair access and optimal use. Operators pay fees for these licenses and must adhere to technical and safety standards. This process helps prevent interference, promotes competition, and encourages infrastructure investments, ultimately enabling faster, more reliable 5G services for consumers and businesses.
