Remarks of Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel at Mobile World Congress 2018
To seize the potential of next generation wireless, I want to focus on three things that require our attention: new bands, new models and new business cases.
First, to power 5G networks we need new spectrum bands. We have open dockets proposing new possibilities in the 3.5 GHz, 3.7-4.2 GHz, 6 GHz, 24 GHz, 28 GHz, 32 GHz, 37 GHz, 39 GHz, 42 GHz, 47 GHz, 50 GHz, 70 GHz, 80 GHz, and above 95 GHz bands, among others.
Second, to power 5G networks we need new models for spectrum access. We need innovative ways to make more room on the road.
