| summary | The Caribbean’s 5G rollout is currently lagging behind other regions, with limited progress made to date. While pioneer spectrum bands have been identified (details on specific bands and assigned amounts are discussed), widespread adoption is hampered by several critical obstacles beyond just financial investment. These include significant infrastructure development needs, challenges with site sharing, and the complex integration of existing fiber networks into 5G deployments.
Caribbean regulators face the challenge of balancing 5G planning with the ongoing optimization of 4G and other priorities. Collaboration between regulators and operators is crucial to establish a viable business case for 5G, which could bring key advantages to the region.
Spectrum allocation processes have been utilized, though their success and lessons learned are being examined. Stakeholders are looking to deployment strategies in regions like Latin America and Asia-Pacific for guidance, particularly regarding infrastructure development and cost-effective coverage strategies. The prevalence of existing fiber infrastructure necessitates a careful balance between 5G rollout and leveraging existing networks. |
