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...

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...

The 31.8-33.4 GHz band, also referred to as 32 GHz, does not currently have a global mobile allocation. The band is up for discussion regarding its identification for 5G at WRC-19, but it seems very unlikely to gain support. Read more...

There is some use of spectrum around 90 GHz for backhaul services but the further development of services in in these higher bands is currently in the experimental stage. It has the support of some stakeholders and regulators but most are concentrating on lower 5G bands. There are no ITU… Read more...

Mobile vies with other services to use this 4G/5G band; Europe is studying extending the 40 MHz block that it has already harmonised for this service. Read more...

Bands in this range are not being studied for possible 5G identification at WRC-19 and most regulators who supported an identification have since recanted. There is huge opposition from the satellite industry but 5G trials in 10-20 GHz are continuing with one operator seeking to leverage existing backhaul usage. Read more...
