The FCC concluded its first 5G spectrum auctions in the 28 GHz band; the 24 GHz band; and the upper 37 GHz, 39 GHz, and 47 GHz bands . With these auctions, the FCC is releasing almost 5 gigahertz of 5G spectrum into the market—more than all other flexible use bands combined.
Read moreHas the FCC approved 5G?
5G development in the CBRS band has hit a new milestone, with the news that Airspan Networks’ Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) 5G Standalone small cell radio has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission for use in U.S. networks .
Read moreWhy did the FCC allow 5G?
To be clear, the FCC did test 5G in the C-band for potential interference with aircraft operations and found no issues of concern. This should not be surprising, as C-band spectrum has been used around the world, with no reported aviation incidents.
Read moreIs it worth to change from 4G to 5G?
If customers are after faster download speeds, upgrading to 5G might be worth the cost, according to Ookla. The company’s study found that 5G Android devices were twice as fast as the most popular 4G devices in regard to median download speed in the U.S.
Read moreWill 4G phones still work after 5G?
4G devices will continue to work . Mobile providers are expected to maintain their 4G networks as they invest in 5G deployment. If your mobile device is more than a few years old, it may be a 3G device.
Read moreWhat happens when 5G is turned on?
5G will bring wider bandwidths by expanding the usage of spectrum resources , from sub-3 GHz used in 4G to 100 GHz and beyond. 5G can operate in both lower bands (e.g., sub-6 GHz) as well as mmWave (e.g., 24 GHz and up), which will bring extreme capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, and low latency.
Read moreWill 5G phones work on 3G network?
Although 3G and 5G use different technologies to send and receive data, they operate at some of the same frequencies. But according to AT&T, they can’t coexist on those frequencies — the airwaves assigned to 3G customers cannot also be used for 5G customers .
