The millimeter era is coming. "If all goes according to plan, the Commission will adopt rules allowing wireless use in the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz bands on a licensed basis and 64 to 71 GHz band for unlicensed within the next few weeks," said Michael O'Rielly, FCC commissioner.
“Experts predict that the four targeted bands will be insufficient to address future wireless industry needs, and we need to start the process of identifying more frequencies now,” said O’Rielly. “As part of our 5G efforts, later this month, we will start looking at additional frequencies to open up for wireless use.”
As millimeter bands are released for commercial use, they will add more spectrum than all the existing spectrum that has been made available for mobile use in the past. The only issue is how much more capacity will be made available: 10 times or 100 times more.
