Josch Luxa works as engineer for the Federal Network Agency since 2009. Beside the responsibility for all questions of fixed wireless access, his focus is set on international frequency management. He worked as CEPT WG SE secretary technical from 2015 to 2019 and as chairperson of the CEPT PT SE19 since beginning of 2018.

He is involved in the national consideration process for the provision of 5G frequencies in Germany.

In 2006, he made his diploma (Dipl.-Ing. (FH)) in Communication techniques at the HTW in Berlin and worked subsequently as consultant for a private company.

In Germany, the 3.5 GHz band is awarded for nationwide licenses with strict coverage requirements to be fulfilled by fixed target dates. The 3700-380 MHz range is designated for local licenses for company internal communications only. The local frequency utilization allows the industry to fulfil the requirements i.e. in case of safety, confidentiality and special use cases.

This presentation gives an overview of conditions for local frequencies and provides information about the licencing procedure.
