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...

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...

The frequencies around 40 GHz are second tier mmWave 5G bands, regarded as less of a priority than 26 or 28 GHz. The end of 2019 will see their consideration at WRC-19 and an auction in the USA. Read more...

A series of bands in this range will be considered for IMT at WRC-19. The only segment to attract significant interest is the 47.2 – 48.2 GHz band, which the FCC will sell at the end of 2019. Read more...

Both 71 – 76 GHz and 81 – 86 GHz are technically under consideration for an IMT identification at WRC-19 but the ITU regional organisation has asked for them to be withdrawn. Some countries are focussing regulatory efforts for the band on fixed links. Read more...
