Japan MIC loosens regulations to permit High Power User Terminal Equipment (HPUE) in the LTE/5G NR frequency bands

Japan MIC made important rule changes in October 2024 to permit HPUE in various LTE/5G NR bands and update rules for LTE B1/5G NR n1 bands. This policy adjustment will not only inject new vitality into Japan's wireless communications industry but will also bring consumers a faster and more stable mobile network experience and accelerate the realization of the vision of the Internet of Everything.
Unlocking spectrum restrictions and expanding application scenarios
According to the latest amendments to Japanese radio regulations, the operating frequency range of LTE B1 and 5G NR N1 has been expanded, thanks to the relaxation of emissions requirements in the frequency band formerly occupied by the PHS system, while allowing the use of HPUEs in more LTE/5G NR frequency bands. This means that in the future, new devices such as industrial-grade IoT devices, Internet of Vehicles devices, etc., will be able to access Japan’s mobile networks. The addition of these high-power devices will further promote the development of application scenarios such as smart cities and smart factories.
