The Role of HAKOM
In order to achieve a common EU timetable, it is necessary to award the RF spectrum for 5G mobile communications networks.
HAKOM is responsible for planning and awarding of RF spectrum, which in the case of bands for 5G networks also means selecting the most appropriate award method (public call, tender or auction). In addition, HAKOM decides on the conditions to be set for future licenses, which includes, among other things, defining the obligations of covering the geographical area with a given quality of signals and services.
HAKOM conducted a public consultation on the future allocation of 700 MHz, 1500 MHz, 3.6 GHz and 26 GHz frequency bands, after which it was decided to include 700 MHz, 3.6 GHz and 26 GHz frequency bands in the next radio spectrum award.
700 MHz can also be used for services of particular importance (emergency services, civil protection, firefighting and similar services).
Within the scope of 5G Working Group, initiated by HAKOM and through the cooperation of all relevant market stakeholders, key elements for successful implementation of 5G in Croatia have been identified, i.e. potential challenges and obstacles have been identified and the necessary solutions and measures are still being worked out to be removed.
The Working Group contributes to creating a more favourable investment climate in the new electronic communication infrastructure and attempts to raise awareness of the importance of 5G for the development of society and the economy of Croatia.
For two years now, HAKOM has been organizing a “5G Day”, which includes representatives of the Croatian economy and the start-up community who use networks and technologies similar to 5G technology, equipment manufacturers and representatives of relevant state institutions and local self-government. The event is organized in order to use technological development as incentive for the development of the economy of Croatia and society as a whole and to inform users about the potential 5G applications in various branches of the economy and society.
