The majority of nations with mmWave policies and plans are targeting 26 GHz spectrum and, to a lesser degree, spectrum in the 28 GHz band. Across the regions, there is also limited, if growing, interest in the release of spectrum in other mmWave bands, particularly in the 40 GHz range.… Read more...

mmWave policy developments in Europe are predominantly centred upon the release of spectrum in the 26 GHz range, often for both IMT and private network use. Recently, there has also been more evidence of regulatory consultations and demand surveys examining the potential use of spectrum in the 40 GHz range… Read more...

mmWave policies in Asia are focused on the release of spectrum in both the 26 GHz and 28 GHz ranges – in a number of nations in the region, spectrum is assigned in both bands. Several nations in the region have local licensing policies in support of private networks. To… Read more...

In the Americas, the focus of mmWave policies is on the release of 26 GHz and 28 GHz under regional and, to a lesser degree, national licensing frameworks. To date, mmWave spectrum for use on a localised basis by private networks has only been assigned in Canada and Brazil. Read more...

In Africa and the Middle East, there remains limited interest in the release of mmWave spectrum for 5G/IMT or localised use. While several regulators in these regions have consulted on mmWave awards, few concrete mmWave policies have been implemented to date. Where there are active mmWave policies in place, regulators… Read more...

As the number of nations around the world assigning mmWave spectrum grows steadily, if slowly, nations are adopting a diverse range of policy approaches. There is wide variance across both the amount of bandwidth (MHz) released and in the mmWave frequency ranges and sub-ranges targeted by different regulators. Policies also… Read more...

There is continued growing momentum in the assignment of spectrum for private networks, with 53 nations in all regions of the world now actively planning and implementing policies for localised spectrum use across an array of spectrum bands. Read more...

Nations in Europe represent 49 per cent of nations globally that have assigned or plan to assign spectrum for private networks. Since PolicyTracker’s last private networks benchmark, published in June 2023, there has been a great deal of activity across Europe with new assignments planned in countries that have already… Read more...

Several nations in the Americas that have assigned spectrum for private networks are now planning to assign additional spectrum resources across a growing array of spectrum bands targeted for local use in the region. Brazil, Canada, Colombia and the US are also pursuing new spectrum sharing frameworks for third party… Read more...
