Since being accorded an effective global IMT identification at WRC-15, the prospects for this band have continued to grow. Licences for the use of the band have been assigned in three European countries where SDL looks to be a popular current and future use of the Band, particularly as the… Read more...

WRC-15 did not identify 5G candidate bands in this range but the technology is expected to be deployed in 3.5 GHz, which is being backed in the US and Europe. An extended the 5 GHz unlicensed band may not be used for 5G directly but it will benefit the increasingly… Read more...

After failing to gain support at WRC-15, the 6-10 GHz range remains very quiet on the regulatory front, although efforts to extend the 5 GHz and 5.9 GHz bands could see the release of more usable spectrum for mobile. Read more...

The ITU has identified 66-76 GHz as a candidate 5G band. With studies ongoing and the backing of major administrations and industry players the 66-76 GHz band has good potential and is up for further discussion at WC-19. The 70-80 GHz is already used for backhaul and fixed link services. Read more...
