WASHINGTON-The FCC has proposed a new set of rules for wireless broadband in wireless frequencies above 24 GHz. These proposed rules are an opportunity to move forward on creating a regulatory environment in which these emerging next-generation mobile technologies – such as so-called 5G mobile service – can potentially take hold and deliver benefits to consumers, businesses, and the USA economy.
The NPRM also provides a variety of platforms and uses, including satellite, to coexist and expand through market-based mechanisms.
The FCC said it intends to authorise a mix of licensed, unlicensed and shared spectrum which a United States delegation will present for consideration as 5G mobile network standards at the World Radio Conference next month in Geneva. The regulator called for “extensive comment” from the market on the service, licensing and technical rules for facilitating flexible use in these bands, as well as other frequencies over 24 GHz with potential use.
“Today’s action also reminds us that the diversity of 5G applications will require a broad range of spectrum types, including low and medium band spectrum, below 3 GHz and between 3 – 6 GHz, as well as streamlined infrastructure siting and more backhaul”, Bergman wrote.

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), the leading association representing the manufacturers and suppliers of high-tech communications networks, released the following statement regarding the FCC’s vote today on proposed rules to open high-band spectrum to broadband applications. “We are proposing to create a space that leverages the properties of this high band spectrum to simultaneously meet the needs of different users”.
