Many regulators are making this band available for unlicensed/licence exempt services, but the mobile industry may gain some access to this spectrum too. 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...

Using spectrum above 90 GHz for mobile is in the experimental phase, perhaps for “6G”. There are no prospects for its immediate IMT identification. Read more...

The first mmWave to be deployed for 5G services: 28 GHz has already been assigned in several major economies. Read more...

800 MHz is mostly used in ITU Region 1 for 4G as part of the digital dividend that came from the analogue television switch-off. It has limited use in other regions. Read more...

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 medium- to long-term. Read more...

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...

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...

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...
