The lower portion of 6 GHz has been allocated for unlicensed use (incl. Wi-Fi) in many countries, while the upper 6 GHz portion was recently identified for mobile (IMT) use for some regions at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). Following this identification, we expect more countries to begin allocating and… Read more...

The premier mid-range global 5G band. Many countries plan to assign at least 300 MHz of spectrum in 3.3 - 3.8 GHz for 5G networks. In the short-run, usage is likely to be dominated by 4G for capacity constrained areas or FWA in rural areas. Read more...
