Delegates at WRC-19 passed a new resolution to facilitate spectrum harmonisation for railway radiocommunication systems between train and trackside (RSTT) within existing mobile allocations. 

Of all the bands under discussion at WRC-19, only 31-31.3 GHz and 38 GHz received a global identification for high altitude platform stations (HAPS). 

UK regulator Ofcom is inviting small businesses to apply for its new shared spectrum licences which enable enterprises to create their own local networks. 

Delegates at WRC-19 agreed to split the 6 GHz band (5925-7125 MHz) between IMT and unlicensed services following tense negotiations.
