Wi-Fi uses unlicensed spectrum , open to use by any device that has been certified by the FCC as conforming to its Part 15 rules on transmitted electromagnetic energy. The certification process is easy and cheap compared to licensing, but it’s not a complete free-for-all.
Read moreHow does unlicensed spectrum with NR-U transform what 5G can do for you?
NR-U makes advanced features of 5G NR available to unlicensed spectrum globally, including new 6 GHz greenfield spectrum. When combined with licensed or shared spectrum, anchored NR-U helps MNOs deliver 5G with better performance by alleviating spectrum constraints .
Read moreDoes 5G need new spectrum?
Today, a majority of commercial 5G networks rely on spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz). This momentum makes it vital that regulators assign as much contiguous 5G spectrum as possible in the range. However, 5G needs more mid-band spectrum to maintain quality of service and meet growing demand .
Read moreWhat is the unlicensed spectrum typically used for?
The FCC dictates certain device requirements and certifications. The unlicensed spectrum is utilized for many applications that you may not even be aware of . For instance, WiFi and your microwave share the same spectrum space.

Read moreWhat is difference between 2G and 3G spectrum?
The main difference between 3G and 2G network technology is bandwidth, which people commonly refer to as speed . At the very minimum, 3G provides speeds that are roughly twice the maximum speed possible with GPRS, a 2G network technology. 2G has been left in the dust as current technologies have much faster speeds.
Read moreWhat is 2G 3G 4G in Internet?
The speed increases and the technology used to achieve that speed also changes. For eg, 1G offers 2.4 kbps, 2G offers 64 Kbps and is based on GSM, 3G offers 144 kbps-2 mbps whereas 4G offers 100 Mbps – 1 Gbps and is based on LTE technology .
