Análisis de riesgo de la infraestructura y el espectro radioeléctrico en la implementación de la tecnología 5G en las ciudades de Quito y Guayaquil

Abstract

The aim of this article is to carry out the analysis of the infrastructure and radio spectrum of 5G technology. This study is focused on the growing demand for connected devices per square kilometre in Ecuador’s biggest cities such as QUITO and GUAYAQUIL, where a required comparative analysis with standards and regulations used in other countries is to be used. A 5G network in terms of energy consumption is higher than the current 4G technology, due to the considerable increase in new antennas ranging from 100 to 300 meters apart, since it works with frequencies greater than 1 GHz and less than 6 GHz, considering that the higher the frequency, the lower the coverage available, but the higher the data transmission speed. In Ecuador, they are working on the implementation of the 700 MHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, which will optimize the 4G network and pave the way for 5G technology.
