Nations in all regions of the world are progressively assigning 26/28 GHz spectrum for 5G/IMT, particularly in the 26 GHz range, and many are also earmarking high-band spectrum for localised use by private networks. Thirty nations have now assigned 26 or 28 GHz spectrum, with 36 nations in the planning… Read more...

New Zealand is proposing an unusual sharing model which splits the band. The bottom part will be shared between the two services and the upper part will be primarily allocated to satellite. Read more...

Thirty nations have assigned 26 GHz or 28 GHz spectrum or both, with ten of these nations planning further assignments. The majority of these assignments are in Asia (40%) and Europe (35%), although nations in all regions of the world are now looking to award spectrum in these high-bands. Read more...

Thirty-six countries spanning all regions of the world are in the planning stage for the release of 26 GHz and/or 28 GHz spectrum, up from 28 in 2022. In many cases this activity is part of the release of spectrum across multiple bands and a number of regulators are planning… Read more...

As nations continue to release 26 and 28 GHz spectrum for 5G and localised use, there is wide variance in the approaches taken in terms of spectrum amounts assigned and assignments per operator, the geographic scope of licenses and assignment mechanisms. Read more...
