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.

The clock phase of the C-band auction, also known as Auction 107, started on December 8, 2020, and ended on January 15, 2021 , raising gross proceeds of over $80.9 billion.

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.

The GAA tier is licensed-by-rule to permit open, flexible access to the band for the widest possible group of potential users.10 Mar 2020
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.
