At the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19 ), global stakeholders built consensus to identify additional spectrum for IMT-2020.

ITU is working towards providing stable international regulations, sufficient spectrum and suitable standards for IMT-2020 and the core network to enable successful 5G deployments at the regional and international levels.

5G technologies are expected to support applications such as smart homes and buildings, smart cities, 3D video, work and play in the cloud, remote medical services, virtual and augmented reality, and massive machine-to-machine communications for industry automation.It should transport a huge amount of data much faster, reliably connect an extremely large number of devices and process very high volumes of data with minimal delay. The fifth generation of mobile technologies - 5G - is expected to connect people, things, data, applications, transport systems and cities in smart networked communication environments.The number of connected devices on the Internet is projected to reach 50 billion any time from 2025 onwards. Anticipated increases in traffic, estimated between 10 and 100 times in the period 2020 - 2030, and growth of number of devices and services, as well as demand for enhanced affordability and user experience will require innovative solutions. Consumer demands are shaping the development of mobile broadband services.
