Office of Communications (Ofcom) made licence-exempt spectrum available under a technology-neutral regime in the 57 - 71 GHz band, which could be used for future 5G services.

Ofcom has also decided to enable local access to spectrum in the 26 GHz band (24.25–26.5 GHz) available on a shared-spectrum basis, but only for indoor use.

In July 2020, Vodafone showcased the country’s first standalone 5G network.
