The majority of nations with mmWave policies and plans are targeting 26 GHz spectrum and, to a lesser degree, spectrum in the 28 GHz band. Across the regions, there is…

mmWave policy developments in Europe are predominantly centred upon the release of spectrum in the 26 GHz range, often for both IMT and private network use. Recently, there has also…

Several nations in Europe have future plans to launch mmWave spectrum consultations with a long-term view to assigning spectrum across a range of bands. In addition, several nations in the…

mmWave policies in Asia are focused on the release of spectrum in both the 26 GHz and 28 GHz ranges – in a number of nations in the region, spectrum…

In the Americas, the focus of mmWave policies is on the release of 26 GHz and 28 GHz under regional and, to a lesser degree, national licensing frameworks. To date,…

In Africa and the Middle East, there remains limited interest in the release of mmWave spectrum for 5G/IMT or localised use. While several regulators in these regions have consulted on…

As the number of nations around the world assigning mmWave spectrum grows steadily, if slowly, nations are adopting a diverse range of policy approaches. There is wide variance across both…

Industry bodies in Europe have been having their say on the Radio Spectrum Policy Group's 6G spectrum roadmap. The RSPG expects to finalise its "Opinion" on this in June.

Interference in a slice of the 800 MHz band used by IoT devices that generated over 120 complaints was caused by an automated lawnmower, says the French spectrum agency ANFR.

The proposed €20.35 billion deal would redraw France’s spectrum map by redistributing SFR's spectrum holdings to Bouygues, Free Mobile and Orange.

There are two licensing processes for the band: one for communities and another for regional internet service providers.

The mobile industry association wants European regulators to reduce or eliminate fees on the more than 500 spectrum licences due for renewal between 2025 and 2035.

The US regulator has accepted proposals that will see a new system introduced in the country to replace the ITU’s current interference protections for satellites in geostationary orbit (GSO).
