26 GHz is considered the first mmWave 5G band in China and Europe. Read more...

A 5G-only band that could form an attractive alternative or complement to the C-Band in Asia, Africa, and the former Soviet Union. Its use in the West is limited by military and public safety considerations. Read more...

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...

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...

Despite initial interest before WRC-19, the 31.8-33.4 GHz band, also referred to as 32 GHz, does not currently have a global mobile allocation and there are no future plans for the band to be discussed at upcoming WRCs. Read more...

This spectrum has been auctioned in the US. It was also identified for IMT at WRC-19 in several countries, but there are few plans to award the band. 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...

A potential IMT identification in these bands was rejected at WRC-19, but they may be considered again in some form at WRC-27. Some countries are focussing regulatory efforts for the band on fixed links. 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 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...
