At WRC-23, several Region 2 countries received an IMT identification in this band. This may create more momentum to allocate and eventually assign this band for mobile use in the future. Read more...

Adjacent to the upper 6 GHz band, this band is currently being studied at ITU level for potential mobile (IMT) use. Several incumbents in this range will likely need to migrate or share before it can be used for 5G or 6G. Read more...

This band is being considered as a potential 6G candidate band due to its large bandwidth availability, although there are concerns about atmospheric attenuation. More R&D on the D band is planned for the coming years. Read more...

This band could eventually play a role in 6G, as it potentially offers a wide bandwidth for new use cases. 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...

So far, only two countries have taken steps to make this band available for mobile. WRC-23 will consider an IMT identification for 10-10.5 GHz in Region 2. Read more...

Vendors have identified this band as a potential 6G candidate band due to its favourable attenuation characteristics yet there are significant challenges to overcome before it can be used for mobile services. Read more...

This band is being considered as a potential 6G candidate band due to its large bandwidth availability, although there are concerns around atmospheric attenuation. Read more...

Originally licensed in the 1980s for CDMA services, 850 MHz spectrum has progressively been repurposed for use by 4G and 5G, enabling the shutdown of legacy 2G and 3G networks. It is mainly used in the Americas and Asia and uses similar spectrum to the 800 MHz band which is… Read more...

800 MHz is a popular 4G band in Europe but unlike 700 MHz it is not widely used for 5G. Read more...
