This spectrum has been auctioned in the US. It was identified for IMT at WRC-19 in several countries, but there are no plans to award the band elsewhere. Read more...

Spectrum above 90 GHz is being considered for cellular use, although there are concerns regarding passive satellite users of this range who need to be protected from emissions. Read more...

Many countries and the European Union have decided to make the lower portion of the 6 GHz band available for unlicensed use. Yet the fate of the upper portion of the band remains a point of contention. Read more...

The 66-71 GHz band has been given an IMT identification at WRC-19, but neither mobile operators nor the licenced community has yet to take advantage of this band. Read more...

5 GHz is a key Wi-Fi band which was extended further at WRC-19. The band has also hosted unlicensed versions of LTE in recent years, and is poised to do the same for 5G NR. Above 5850 MHz the band is generally allocated for Intelligent Transport Services, but there is… Read more...

This overview provides a high level view of the frequencies generally used for mobile broadband globally for both 4G and 5G. It also summarises some relevant recent trends. Read more...

The band is currently used around the world for 4G and is rapidly becoming a globally used 5G band. Read more...

The frequencies around 40 GHz are second tier mmWave 5G bands, regarded as less of a priority than 26 or 28 GHz. WRC-19 saw all of the band identified for IMT. Read more...
