Considering this “impending switch-on” has been in the works for years, I have to wonder what (if any) efforts have been made over that time to identify and resolve an issue like this.
“Considering this “impending switch-on” has been in the works for years,”
These frequencies were allotted less than a year ago.
“These frequencies were allotted less than a year ago.”
Thanks. Do you know what frequencies the telecoms were seeking for 5G, and are these allotted ones different?
They have an allottment in the 3.7 GHz band up to 3.98. Airlines operate just above that beginning at 4.2.
“. Do you know what frequencies the telecoms were seeking for 5G”
Many. Some common bands are 600 MHz, 2.5, 3.7, 26, 28 GHz.
“They have an allotment in the 3.7 GHz band up to 3.98. Airlines operate just above that beginning at 4.2.”
Interesting. This Trump administration ‘fact sheet’ from August 2020, states “The American wireless industry will be able to build and operate 5G networks nationwide using the 3.45-3.55 GHz band.”
3.45 Winners.
Also refers to 3.5 and 3.7 bands.
The 3.7 goes up to 3.98.
If the allotted frequency had maxed out at the original 3.55 GHz, per that Aug 2020 ‘fact sheet’, this current problem wouldn’t exist; is that correct?
This Forbes article provides some info.
“When 5G first launched in the U.S., the C-Band spectrum had been assigned to large TV satellites and wasn’t available to telecoms companies. But in March 2020, the FCC announced it would reallocate much of the C-Band by adopting new rules authorizing flexible use of the 3.7–3.98 GHz band for next generation services, including 5G.”
Kill Joy.
