A portion of this band is set to become a key 5G band in the USA, Japan, and possibly beyond. These frequencies are being explored in some countries as an extension of 4G/5G frequency bands from 3.3 – 3.8 GHz, sometimes to be made available on a shared and/or local basis. Read more...

The frequencies most likely to win approval as 5G candidate bands at WRC-19 are 26 GHz and the bands around 40 GHz. However, 28 GHz, which is outside the ITU process, is already being used for 5G in the USA and will become one of the key global bands. 3.3-3.8… Read more...

The 3-6 GHz range is home to 3.3 - 3.8 GHz, where the first 5G services are likely to be deployed in most countries. It includes a less popular 5G option, 3.7 - 4.2 GHz, a predominantly Asian 5G band at 4.4 -5 GHz as well as the 5 GHz… Read more...

WRC-15 did not identify 5G candidate bands in this range but the technology is expected to be deployed in 3.5 GHz, which is being backed in the US and Europe. An extended the 5 GHz unlicensed band may not be used for 5G directly but it will benefit the increasingly… Read more...

After failing to gain support at WRC-15, the 6-10 GHz range remains very quiet on the regulatory front, although efforts to extend the 5 GHz and 5.9 GHz bands could see the release of more usable spectrum for mobile. Read more...

3.4-3.8 GHz should be Europe’s primary 5G band according to the RSPG, the group of regulators which advise the European Commission. Read more...
