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...

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...

The 2.1 GHz band is widely used for legacy mobile services in most countries. As licences are expiring more countries are looking into assigning the spectrum for LTE and 5G networks. Read more...

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...

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 first mmWave to be deployed for 5G services may yet play an important role in the future of 5G. Read more...
