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

The US has recently adopted a new regulatory framework to allow satellite direct-to-device use of the band. Read more...

So far only the USA has assigned 40 GHz as a mobile band, but other countries are considering it, including the UK, Belgium and Hong Kong. Read more...

The lower portion of 6 GHz has been allocated for unlicensed use (incl. 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). Following this identification, we expect more countries to begin allocating and… Read more...

The 66-71 GHz band has been given an IMT identification at WRC-19, but neither mobile operators nor the licenced community has yet to take advantage of this band. Read more...

26 GHz is considered the first mmWave 5G band in China and Europe. Read more...

26 GHz is likely to be the first mmWave 5G band in China and Europe. 2019 saw a chipset to support the band, but the need to prevent interference to satellite monitoring services prompted regulators to agree at WRC-19 on some limits on the band. Read more...

GSM-based 2G services use 900 MHz across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The band is set to be refarmed for 4G and 5G services over the long-term. Read more...

The 1400 MHz band, also known as L-Band, is particularly popular for mobile in the European Union, where regulators must award at least 40 MHz of the band for downlink services. WRC-15 set the stage for its global use in the medium-long term. Read more...
