Tick-Tock, or Why 5G Must Happen Soon in the US August 21, 2018 TR Daily April 20, 2018 Mike Murphy, chief technology officer in North America for Nokia, said U.S. wireless carriers need a minimum of 100 MHz each in 3.7-4.2 GHz C-band to deploy 5G services. He also urged U.S. action on siting, saying infrastructure can be deployed more quickly in China and South Korea. There should be standardized processes and costs for deploying small cells, Mr. Murphy suggested.
