Reading the new CNAF (Cuadro Nacional de Atribución de Frecuencias) as “there are now 400 MHz available for private 5G networks” would mean stopping at the headline.⁣
⁣
Within the 3.8–4.2 GHz band, the CNAF establishes different frequency ranges, uses and access models. For example, 3.8–3.92 GHz is allocated to local connectivity under licensed and self-provisioned models; 3.92–4.02 GHz includes Defence uses; and 4.02–4.12 GHz is allocated to local connectivity under self-provisioning. In addition, part of the 3.92–4.12 GHz range may also be used for electronic news gathering.⁣
⁣
What does this mean for a real project?⁣
⁣
The question is no longer simply whether a company can consider deploying a private 5G network.⁣
⁣
It is also necessary to determine which spectrum scenario fits the use case, under which access model, and what implications that choice has for the network design.⁣
⁣
Because spectrum cannot be separated from engineering decisions: frequency, power, environment, coverage requirements, interference and deployment architecture all influence which solution is technically viable in each scenario.⁣
⁣
This is where APTICA can add value.⁣
⁣
We analyse project requirements, assess radio feasibility, simulate coverage and interference scenarios, evaluate design alternatives and dimension the required infrastructure before deployment decisions are made.⁣
⁣
The new CNAF expands the possibilities.⁣
⁣
Turning those possibilities into a technically viable network requires understanding which option actually makes sense for each project.⁣
⁣
If you are evaluating a private 5G network or want to assess which options fit your scenario, get in touch and we will review it with you, with no obligation.⁣

High-resolution cartography alone does not guarantee an accurate RF prediction.⁣
⁣
The method used to interpret that environment is just as important.⁣
⁣
In radio network simulation, the propagation model mathematically represents how we expect the signal to interact with terrain, obstacles and the specific conditions of the scenario.⁣
⁣
That is why using the same cartography with different calculation methods can produce different predictions.⁣
⁣
The choice should not be arbitrary.⁣
⁣
In XIRIO Online, the calculation method is selected according to variables such as the deployment environment, the technology, the frequency band and the available cartographic information. The platform includes different methodologies to address scenarios with different propagation characteristics.⁣
⁣
And this is the key point: the propagation model is not just another parameter selected when configuring a study. It is a technical hypothesis about how we expect the signal to behave.⁣
⁣
If that hypothesis does not adequately represent the scenario, simply increasing the cartographic resolution will not solve the problem.⁣
⁣
The value of an RF planning tool does not lie only in its ability to calculate.⁣
⁣
It also lies in enabling the engineer to select and configure the right method for the problem they are actually trying to model.⁣

A company with ten sites can have one connectivity strategy.⁣
That does not mean it should have ten identical networks.⁣
⁣
Standardisation makes sense when an organisation wants to grow consistently.⁣
⁣
A group can define a common reference architecture, security policies, service requirements, IT/OT integration criteria, operating models and shared KPIs.⁣
⁣
That improves governance, maintenance and future evolution.⁣
⁣
But there is one part that cannot be decided solely at corporate level:⁣
⁣
how the network needs to perform at each individual site.⁣
⁣
A factory with metal structures, a logistics centre with high-density storage, a distributed campus or a facility with significant mobility requirements all present different RF conditions.⁣
⁣
Propagation changes. Interference changes. User and device density changes. Mobility patterns, coverage requirements, capacity needs and even the physical distribution of infrastructure change.⁣
⁣
That is why scaling a wireless strategy should not mean replicating the same parameters, locations or network dimensioning from one site to another.⁣
⁣
The criteria can be shared.⁣
⁣
RF design has to determine how those criteria should be applied at each site.⁣
⁣
In this type of project, APTICA can start from the organisation’s common requirements and translate them into RF analysis, planning and design for each individual environment, maintaining a global view without overlooking local conditions.⁣
⁣
A truly scalable technology strategy is not about making every site identical.⁣
⁣
It is about making every site support the same business objective, even when the engineering required to achieve it is different.⁣

Incorporar IA a una empresa también significa decidir cómo se gobierna.

En APTICA llevamos tiempo trabajando no solo en cómo aprovechar las posibilidades de la Inteligencia Artificial, sino también en establecer criterios internos para utilizarla con control, supervisión y responsabilidad.

El AI Act está acelerando una conversación que las empresas tendremos que incorporar cada vez más a nuestra gestión: qué herramientas de IA utilizamos, para qué las utilizamos, qué información puede tratarse con ellas, quién autoriza nuevos usos y cómo supervisamos sus resultados.

El artículo publicado por Cámara de Comercio de Madrid aborda precisamente esta transición: pasar de utilizar herramientas de IA de forma aislada a disponer de un verdadero modelo interno de gobernanza.

En nuestro caso, este trabajo también se ha visto reforzado por la formación recibida a través de EDIH Madrid Región 2.0, que nos ha permitido trasladar los requisitos del AI Act a situaciones y casos de uso reales dentro de la empresa.

Porque integrar Inteligencia Artificial no consiste únicamente en incorporar nuevas herramientas.

También implica definir dónde aportan valor, bajo qué criterios deben utilizarse y qué mecanismos de control deben acompañarlas.

Compartimos el artículo porque creemos que esta será una de las conversaciones relevantes para cualquier organización que esté incorporando IA a sus procesos.

Four operators competing in the same market are now exploring how 5G infrastructure in the 28 GHz band could be used more efficiently through sharing.⁣
⁣
KDDI, NTT DOCOMO, SoftBank and Rakuten Mobile have launched a joint study covering base stations, repeaters and other mmWave assets to expand the practical use of this spectrum.⁣
⁣
The technical reason is well known: 28 GHz can deliver very high capacity, but its propagation characteristics make coverage expansion far more demanding. Signals are more sensitive to obstacles, and wider coverage often requires greater network densification.⁣
⁣
The more interesting implication comes next.⁣
⁣
When a specific frequency band requires significantly more sites, repeaters and network elements, the question is no longer only how to design the radio coverage.⁣
⁣
Another decision appears:⁣
⁣
Which infrastructure should each operator deploy independently, and which assets could make sense to share?⁣
⁣
Japan is still assessing the technical and operational feasibility of this model, and each operator will continue deploying its own mmWave network. But the initiative highlights a broader point for network planning:⁣ Propagation characteristics can end up shaping decisions far beyond RF — including architecture, infrastructure, operations and even the deployment model itself.⁣
⁣
At APTICA, this connection between radio behaviour, coverage scenarios and network design and feasibility decisions is precisely where engineering criteria become strategic.⁣

A hybrid architecture makes sense when it responds to different operational needs, not simply because more technologies are available.⁣
⁣
At APTICA, the starting point would not be choosing between Wi-Fi 7 and Private 5G. It would be separating the processes and analysing what each one actually requires:⁣
⁣
mobility, continuity, capacity, coverage, security, criticality and the level of control needed over the infrastructure.⁣
⁣
From there, we can define which connectivity layer should support each process.⁣
⁣
Because deploying two technologies where one would be enough can increase cost, operational overhead and complexity. But trying to support very different requirements with a single technology can also constrain the architecture.⁣
⁣
Coexistence creates value when each technology has a clear role within the network.⁣
⁣
That is what engineering should resolve: not which technology is better, but where each one adds value and how to integrate them without overengineering the infrastructure.⁣

A factory can deploy sensors, robots and automated systems. But if the network cannot support them, neither can the operation.⁣
⁣
Industry 4.0 depends on more than automation. It requires a connectivity infrastructure designed around the real conditions of each facility, process and production environment.⁣
⁣
Coverage, capacity, interference, availability and operational continuity should not be addressed after deployment. They need to be assessed from the planning stage.⁣
⁣
In our latest video, we show how network engineering helps design, simulate and optimize private 5G and IoT networks for advanced factories.⁣

In many RF planning projects, a technical decision can end up depending on information that has been exported, copied or shared outside the original planning environment.⁣
⁣
As the project evolves, those separate versions may no longer reflect the current scenario.⁣
⁣
The result is a common operational problem: engineering teams, management, clients and integrators may be reviewing different information, with different levels of context and without a common reference ensuring that everyone is working from the same project data.⁣
⁣
With SharePlace, XIRIO Online enables planning projects and coverage results to be shared directly from the cloud environment in which they are managed.⁣
⁣
This allows all project stakeholders to access a common reference, review the current scenario and reduce the risk of validating information that no longer reflects the latest state of the project.⁣
⁣
For management, the value goes far beyond sharing information.⁣
⁣
It means faster validation processes, fewer dependencies and technical decisions supported by accessible, up-to-date information aligned across all teams.⁣
⁣
Because a decision should not depend on a file.⁣
