As nations around the world continue to implement and plan unlicensed (and now licensed) 6 GHz policies, significant variance in policy approaches persists. This relates to targeted frequency ranges, permitted modes of operation and technical conditions for unlicensed operations, along with varied policy implementation mechanisms. Read more...

Below you can search or filter current and expired mobile assignments in over 120 countries. You can also view current assignments and expired assignments separately. Other aspects of the database are presented in these online tables: MHz/pop pricing and spectrum allocations. The Database is updated quarterly. Read more...

Both 3GPP and the ITU are progressing agendas to identify spectrum for satellites and other non-terrestrial networks. 3GPP Release 19 anticipates adding spectrum in the Ku-band, while WRC-27 will consider several new mobile satellite service ranges, including spectrum for satellite direct-to-device connectivity.

6G IMT-2030 networks will use multiple frequency bands—existing terrestrial bands, repurposed bands, and spectrum in new bands. This Research Note examines the current state of 6G IMT spectrum identifications and leading candidate bands for future use. A complementary Note looks at the status of the spectrum targeted for use by… Read more...

3GPP and the ITU are moving forward with standardisation work towards 6G across both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks and ultimately the full integration of the two. 3GPP 6G normative standards are expected in Release 21, developed in the 2027 to 2029 timeframe, with the ITU set to establish formal 6G… Read more...

Since PolicyTracker published its first 6G Dossier in 2021, there has been significant progress in the framing of the 6G future and the setting of more meaningful directional targets and milestones. 6G plans are becoming more defined across global, regional and national policy roadmaps, standards developments, spectrum targets and R&D… Read more...

Regulators opting for cashless auction elements seek to achieve connectivity goals in addition to efficient spectrum assignment. Read more...

China's Qianfan (Thousand Sails) has launched the first satellites in its low-earth-orbit constellation and has been added to PolicyTracker’s LEO Tracker as a significant new player. Read more...
