Industry trade organization, 5G Americas, has called on the FCC to allocate spectrum for future technologies. In a white paper released last week, the industry group noted the importance of licensed spectrum to the roll out for 5G-Advanced and 6G technologies. The white paper targets the 7.125 through 15.35 GHz band, especially below 10 GHz, for increasing capacity on existing infrastructure.
“[Providing] an industry roadmap for more spectrum helps ensure effective deployment of future networks and drive the emergence of groundbreaking technologies,” said 5G Americas President Chris Pearson.
Identifying new spectrum is integral to maintaining the U.S. national spectrum strategy pipeline, ensuring rapid commercialization, and sustained technological leadership, according to 5G Americas. “mmWave bands are important for deployments in dense locations like urban cores and also for fixed wireless access deployments. Sub-THz bands offer very large bandwidths that may be suitable for specialized use cases,” said work group co-leader Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Principal Engineer/Manager at Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
