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...

450 MHz was one of the first mobile bands but its use for consumer services has declined and it is now being promoted as an ideal band for industrial use cases such as utilities and governmental services. Read more...

Although it was one of the pioneer mobile bands, 450 MHz has not been widely used in the past twenty years. However, companies are now seeing potential in using both the 450 MHz and adjacent 400 MHz bands for niche use cases. Read more...

The frequencies around 40 GHz are second tier mmWave 5G bands, regarded as less of a priority than 26 or 28 GHz. The end of 2019 will see their consideration at WRC-19 and an auction in the USA. Read more...

A series of bands in this range will be considered for IMT at WRC-19. The only segment to attract significant interest is the 47.2 – 48.2 GHz band, which the FCC will sell at the end of 2019. Read more...

The mobile industry is promoting IMT identifications in 70 GHz band (66 – 71 GHz), but the unlicensed community wants to expand Wi-Gig usage into this range. Read more...

WRC-19 agreed to identify the 45.5 – 47 GHz and 47.2 – 48.2 GHz bands for IMT, the latter is also being auctioned in the US. Read more...

A potential IMT identification in these bands was rejected at WRC-19, but they may be considered again in some form at WRC-27. Some countries are focussing regulatory efforts for the band on fixed links.  Read more...

Both 71 – 76 GHz and 81 – 86 GHz are technically under consideration for an IMT identification at WRC-19 but the ITU regional organisation has asked for them to be withdrawn. Some countries are focussing regulatory efforts for the band on fixed links. Read more...

Using spectrum above 90 GHz for mobile is in the experimental phase, perhaps for “6G”. There are no prospects for an IMT identification. Read more...
