The U.S.’s Auction 107 (C-Band 3.7 GHz) emerged as the world’s most expensive mid-band 5G spectrum auction in February 2021 at 94 cents per MHz/pop, inching above Taiwan’s 71 cents per MHz/pop 3.5 GHz auction a year earlier.

Read moreHow many gigahertz is 5G?
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.
Read moreWhat GHz is 4G?
4G uses frequencies below 6 GHz , while some 5G networks use higher frequencies, like around 30 GHz or more. These high frequencies are great for a number of reasons, one of the most important being that they support a huge capacity for fast data.
Read moreWhat band is 2.5 GHz?
The 2.5 GHz band is the largest band of contiguous spectrum below 3 gigahertz – and its technical characteristics make this spectrum band highly suitable for next-generation mobile broadband services, including 5G. But much of the 2.5 GHz band lies fallow and unused throughout the United States.
Read moreWhat band is 3.6 GHz?
The 3.6 GHz band also forms a subset of the 3300–3800 MHz band , which since 2016 has been recognised internationally as a pioneer band for 5G services. The standardisation of both non-standalone and standalone 5G equipment was completed by the 3GPP in June 2018.
