Forty-six nations in Europe are included in PolicyTracker’s updated 3.3-4.2 GHz benchmark, including nine new nations. All nations in the region have assigned or plan to assign spectrum within the 3.1/3.4-3.8 GHz range, while 10 nations are targeting the release of spectrum above 3.8 GHz. There is also traction in… Read more...

While WRC-23 identified portions of the upper 6 GHz band for IMT, there is emergent consideration of sharing between Wi-Fi and IMT in the range. Spectrum sharing is also under investigation between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks underpinned by the need for 6G to be sharing native by design. Read more...
