Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Gartlan:

I have not seen the ComReg report but it might be referring to microwave bands or high microwave 60 GHz bands with a range of approximately hundreds of metres to give those very high speeds. We saw the BBC demonstration that was carried out in London a couple of weeks ago with the launch of the EE 5G trials. The reporter had to sit with the telephone facing a certain direction to get it because the coverage was so small and was reflecting off buildings. Perhaps ComReg is referring to something akin to that. I am not sure because I have not seen it.
