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...

66 – 71 GHz has been given a 5G identification but the coming years will show whether the main users will be mobile operators or the unlicensed community.  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...

1800 MHz is the world’s most popular 4G band, especially in Regions 1 and 3. Read more...

A potential IMT identification in these bands was rejected at WRC-19, but they may be considered again in some form at WRC-27. Some countries are focussing regulatory efforts for the band on fixed links.  Read more...

This Americas-only band is being refarmed from 2G/3G to 4G and 5G; it is better known as the Personal Communication Services (PCS) band. Read more...

The core 3G mobile band in most countries, the 2.1 GHz band may be refarmed to 4G in due course. Adjacent spectrum has become a battleground between the mobile and satellite industries but there is hope that this was resolved at WRC-19. Read more...

2.3 GHz is TD-LTE band with extensive use in Asia-Pacific and a growing presence in Europe. Read more...

A portion of this band is set to become a key 5G band in the USA, Japan, and possibly beyond. These frequencies are being explored in some countries as an extension of 4G/5G frequency bands from 3.3 – 3.8 GHz, sometimes to be made available on a shared and/or local basis. Read more...

5.1 - 5.9 GHz is a key Wi-Fi band which was extended further at WRC-19. The band has also hosted unlicensed versions of LTE in recent years, and is poised to do the same for 5G NR. Above 5850 MHz the band is allocated for Intelligent Transport Services. Read more...
