WRC-23 will consider an IMT identification for 10-10.5 GHz in Region 2. Prior to WRC-19 there appeared limited international pressure for commercial use of this spectrum. Momentum may build around 10 GHz as a licensed 5G candidate band as a result of WRC-19. Read more...

Prospects for an IMT identification in this range are remote as industry stakeholders and administrations have shown little interest in the ITU candidate band of 81-86 GHz.  What work is being done on developing 5G technology in this band is still largely experimental and many years away from being fully… 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...

The frequencies most likely to win approval as 5G candidate bands at WRC-19 are 26 GHz and the bands around 40 GHz. However, 28 GHz, which is outside the ITU process, is already being used for 5G in the USA and will become one of the key global bands. 3.3-3.8… Read more...
