“…The questions in the "Regulations and Spectrum Management" pillar are mainly concerned with identifying the government's role and responsibilities. This question list encompasses issues found in the literature, such as Spectrum and price policy [53], fee policy [45], and private 5G [17]. The scope of the "Infrastructure" pillar encompasses significant infrastructure investments.…”

“…In addition to examining country-based 5G policies in the literature, multiple national strategies are also examined, albeit to a limited extent. Regarding 5G policies, Forge and Vu conducted an extensive study on developing countries by examining five countries, and India's strategies were also examined [17,53]. In this study, we increase the number of countries whose national 5G strategy is examined, and the recommendations are presented holistically as a checklist.…”

“…Regulation and spectrum are defined by Sgora as essential pieces of the 5G puzzle [77]. The timely deployment of 5G and regulations are prerequisites for increasing technological diffusion and for maximizing the benefit of 5G to the economy at the national level [53,77]. At this point, countries face spectrum allocation, which contains amount, band type, usage scenarios, pricing models, and regulations about facilitating technologies, encouraging facilitating 5G investments via tax advantages and supports.…”

“…Although vertical industries use cases serve this purpose, they are not sufficient. Countries aware of this reality have identified the "national ecosystem" dimension in their strategies and have set various goals for establishing an ecosystem that involves government, private sector, academia, technology users, infrastructure providers, and end users [53].…”

Digital transformation is taking place across all levels of governance, from small businesses to governments. If the seed of digital transformation is data, then reliable connectivity is the nourishing soil that data need to prosper. With digital transformation, billions of connections require more broadband. In response to this need, some countries are preparing national 5G strategies, as 5G technology has been identified as a significant driver of the digital economy. In this study, 16 national 5G strategies have been systematically and comprehensively analyzed, and a checklist has been developed to formulate national 5G strategies and policies. The checklist can be used by policymakers, especially in developing countries, to guide the preparation of national 5G strategies and policies. Of course, each country’s national strategy will differ regarding resources, culture, etc. It is hoped that this checklist may speed up the preparation process by providing a baseline during the strategy formulation phase and make the process more efficient by incorporating lessons learned, especially for developing countries.

“…By utilizing 4G network infrastructure, it allows operators to roll out 5G networks faster because the time in building 5G network infrastructure is faster and the coverage is more evenly distributed. Users' smartphones that already support 5G will connect to the 5G network to get faster data speeds but will still use 4G's core network [21]- [23].…”

Currently, telecommunication operators must deploy 5G networks to cope with the exponential growth in internet-access demand. To minimize capital expenditure, existing 4G cell towers are being used to install new 5G base stations (gNodeB). However, 5G has different key performance indicators (KPI), frequency and bandwidth values, and propagation models compared to 4G hence an evaluation of this approach's effectiveness is needed. This paper analyzes 5G network performance with frequency of 3.5 GHz, bandwidth of 100 MHz, and using existing cellular towers in Surakarta City. The city has a total area of 46.8 km 2 , mostly flat topography and not many tall buildings therefore propagation models with line-of-sight urban macro (UMa) and urban micro (UMi) are representative. KPI parameters for throughput include 75% of the area served with at least 100 Mbps for downlink and at least 50 Mbps for uplink. KPI parameter for signal strength targets at least 90% of the area covered with -100 dBm or higher. Our Atoll simulations show that the optimistic scenario (UMa) produces average throughput of 153.59 Mbps (downlink) and 117.88 Mbps (uplink), 89.43% served with at least 100 Mbps (downlink) and 100% experience at least 50 Mbps (uplink), average signal strength is -83.99 dBm and 79.71% area covered with at least -100 dBm. The pessimistic scenario (UMi) predicts throughput of 141.32 Mbps (downlink) and 117.88 Mbps (uplink), 86.52% provided with at 100 Mbps (downlink) and 100% served with 50 Mbps (uplink), average signal strength of -90.73 dBm and 75.13% area covered with at least -100 dBm. It can be concluded that the 5G network installed at existing 4G towers can conform to KPI parameters on throughput but still experience drawbacks in signal coverage. A non-Standalone 5G network is suitable for early deployment, but gNodeB installation at new locations is needed in the following years.
