ITU Approves Globally-Harmonized New Spectrum for Mobile Communications

The International Telecommunications Union World Radiocommunications Conference has approved a globally harmonized 200 MHz portion of the C-band (3.4 GHz to 3.6GHz) for mobile communications.

That band is expected to provide capacity in urban areas.

The WRC-15 meeting also created a globally harmonized portion of the L-band (1427 MHz to 1518 MHz), for mobile communications, as well.

WRC-15 also expanded the 700 MHz band (694 MHz to 790 MHz) from a regionally harmonized band in the Americas and Asia Pacific to a global band to support mobile communications.

GSMA officials also applauded the use of sub-700 MHz frequencies, especially 610 MHz to 698 MHz for mobile broadband, in markets covering more than half the population of the Americas.

India is expected to use that band as well.

GSMA expects additional work at WRC-19 to  identify high-frequency bands above 24 GHz for 5G mobile services.
