 Neutral Host Network (NHN) operator, which can be for example a venue owner, may build a network operating in a CBRS spectrum with relatively low investment and then lease the network capacity to other operators, such as conventional MNOs. This may be mutually beneficial to both, as it provides a new source of revenue for a venue owner and relieves MNOs from the burden of cell site acquisition, which can be substantial and is one of the primary reasons for the relatively insignificant small cell deployments SO far. 2.4.2 Localized Licensing Another important development has started in Europe in the form of making spectrum available for specific industry segments, such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and potentially others who would benefit from access to 5G but have strict performance requirements such as very low latency. For example, the German regulator, Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA), has made spectrum in the 3.7-3.8 GHz band available for private networks6 and this will be separate from the auction of spectrum for general 5G mobile broadband use. Other regulators, for instance some in Asia, have also started considering similar approaches to help facilitate introduction of 5G into many vertical industries. These efforts, however, can come to fruition using existing technology-neutral models. Technology neutrality, as described earlier, does not mandate a specific network struc- ture model. In other words, it does not require the licensee to provide wide-area service 5 At the time of writing of this book, CBRS and LSA systems are based on LTE, rather than 5G. However, we expect that over time the spectrum-sharing approach will be extended to 5G as well. 6 3GPP is addressing private network requirements in Release-16. 2 Market Drivers only. An example is use of Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs) to provide local coverage inside buildings using frequencies licensed for wide-area use. In the US, technology-neutral licenses have a wide range of variation in terms of lice
