According to the FCC:
Today, we take a significant step towards securing the Nation’s future in the next generational evolution of wireless technology to so-called 5G. We build upon years of successful spectrum policy – including flexible use, unlicensed, and sharing policies – to create service rules for using four spectrum bands above 24 GHz. These high frequencies previously have been best suited for satellite or fixed microwave applications; however, recent technological breakthroughs have newly enabled advanced mobile services in these bands, notably including very high speed and low latency services. To promote the deployment of these highly beneficial technologies, we are acting quickly –- more quickly than most of our counterparts around the world – to establish a coherent framework built on a robust public record. In addition to this significant step forward, we will also continue to explore new opportunities to make additional bands available and to explore other issues, including robust Federal sharing, raised in the accompanying Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
