Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz for Mobile Radio Services

Federal Communications Commission

Abstract

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) have identified specific spectrum bands above 24 GHz that appear to be suitable for mobile service, and we seek comment on proposed service rules that would authorize mobile and other operations in those bands. This development of service rules for mobile use of the millimeter wave (mmW) bands occurs in the context of our efforts to develop a regulatory framework that will help facilitate so- called Fifth Generation (5G) mobile services.
