Effective use of DD Situation in Albania
Currently there are three mobile network operators in the market ◦ four operators till December 2017.
The mobile market is well developed with good coverage with 3G/4G which is offered from all mobile market players
Mobile broadband provided based on HSPA/HSPA+ was introduced late in Albania on 2010, while 4G/LTE was presented on September 2015.

Digital Dividends
The exploitation of the digital dividend for further development of broadband services as a result of the Digital Switchover (DSO) is still ongoing:◦ three regions of the country (Berat, Korce and Fier) finalised.
◦ About 70% of Albania's population has access of digital transmittions.
◦ The analog switch off is ongoing in the regions of Tirana and Durrës, which are the most populous regions in Albania.
◦ The deadline for analog switch off in these regions is 31 July 2018
Frequency spectrum made available for other applications:◦ such as mobile broadband when switching from analogue to digital
TV broadcasting;

DD1 - 800 MHz release and licensing
Law no 34/2017 approved to release Digital Dividend one (800 MHz);
The New National Allocation Table, based on WRC-2015 and ECA Table, approved by GoA on March 2017:
◦ Decided the deadline to free 800 MHz – 30 June 2017;
800 MHz released from broadcasters during 2017;
February- April 2018 - the public consultation for licensing of 800 MHz done from AKEP;
June 2018 the order of Minister to start the licensing process sent to AKEP;
AKEP is expected to open the tender for 800 MHz in July 2018

5G – requirements
The spectrum requirement for 5G networks is seen today in two directions: ◦ the frequencies under 1GHz
◦ the frequencies above 6GHz.
The spectrum bandwidth estimated per operator could be:◦ ~500MHz below 20GHz,
◦ ~1GHz between 20-40GHz and
◦ ~2 GHz above 40GHz.
The harmonization of spectrum policies for 5G is a challenge.
There is lack of global spectrum harmonization on LTE deployment.
The same situation in our region referring to data published in: spectrummonitoring.org;
