At WRC-23, several Region 2 countries received an IMT identification in this band. This may create more momentum to allocate and eventually assign this band for mobile use in the future. Read more...

Adjacent to the upper 6 GHz band, this band is currently being studied at ITU level for potential mobile (IMT) use. Several incumbents in this range will likely need to migrate or share before it can be used for 5G or 6G. Read more...

This band is being considered as a potential 6G candidate band due to its large bandwidth availability, although there are concerns about atmospheric attenuation. More R&D on the D band is planned for the coming years. Read more...

The lower portion of 6 GHz has been allocated for unlicensed use (including Wi-Fi) in many countries, while the upper 6 GHz portion was recently identified for mobile (IMT) use for some regions at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). In late 2024, Hong Kong became the first territory to hold… Read more...

Only the USA and United Kingdom have assigned 40 GHz to mobile operators, and the band's popularity has waned compared to other mmWave bands. Read more...

The 4.4—4.8 GHz band will be studied for IMT for WRC-27 in Regions 1 and 3. There are a few existing allocations in the 4.9 GHz band as well as some allocations in the 4.4—4.5 GHz. Read more...
