Supporting Spectrum Allocation in Germany

At Spektrum Metrics, we deliver actionable insights to support spectrum-related decisions across global markets. Our work in Germany reflects our ability to interpret national allocation frameworks, and assess regulatory developments. We help clients align their spectrum strategy with both local policies and international coordination efforts.

Understanding Spectrum Allocation in Germany

Germany plays a central role in European wireless policy and spectrum planning. As the largest economy in the EU, its frequency allocations influence not only national deployments but also regional harmonization.  Germany’s approach to spectrum allocation has a ripple effect across the European Union and beyond.

The Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA), Germany’s federal network agency, manages spectrum policy through structured planning aligned with ITU Region 1. It also incorporates priorities specific to industrial, public, and private use.

Germany made significant progress in mid-band 5G. Its allocation of spectrum for local and private networks positions the country as a leader in industrial wireless applications. However, for organizations operating internationally, differences in licensing models, access conditions, and technical requirements can lead to challenges. This is especially true when navigating private 5G network licenses and local spectrum usage in Germany. 

That is where Spektrum Metrics provides strategic value.

Technical Analysis and Regulatory Clarity

Spektrum Metrics combines local regulatory expertise with a global view of spectrum strategy. Our clients depend on us to interpret complex spectrum policies. We translate that information into actionable insights that support both technical operations and business planning.

Here is how we help clients working in Germany:

• Detailed frequency band comparisons between Germany and other countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These insights support informed networks deployment and effective spectrum management strategies.
• Real-time regulatory tracking of updates from BNetzA, Germany’s regulatory authority, and the European Commission, ensuring alignment with current federal ministry policies.
• 5G Private mobile network planning using Germany’s dedicated 3.7 to 3.8 GHz band. Organizations design these localized industrial deployments to comply with national spectrum management practices.

Germany in a Global Context

In our comparative study of spectrum allocations in Germany, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, we identified several key differences. For instance, all four countries use the 3.4 to 3.8 GHz band for 5G services. German regulators set aside part of this band specifically for industrial use through a separate licensing process. 

This model supports private 5G networks within manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, and other high-demand industrial environments. It gives enterprises flexibility and control, but also introduces technical and regulatory complexities that teams must address during deployment.

Organizations entering the German market must consider factors such as band availability, local coordination requirements, and evolving German telecommunications regulations. These elements can impact network design, deployment timelines, and long-term spectrum access.

Spektrum Metrics helps clients navigate these challenges by assessing spectrum conditions, interpreting licensing structures, and identifying compliant pathways for implementation. Our goal is to help clients deploy reliable, high-performance networks. Network designers create these systems to meet both operational needs and regulatory requirements.
