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 is expected to place restrictions on its usage. Read more...

26 GHz and 28 GHz have emerged as the premier 5G bands in mmWave spectrum with the 26 GHz having the most global support. But differences over the protection conditions for earth observation satellites in the adjacent band will lead into great discussions at WRC-19. 28 GHz, however, is already being… Read more...

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