Last week, the FCC released a Fact Sheet outlining a draft Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the Commission will vote on in July. The proposal would make additional licensed spectrum available in the 28, 37 and 39 GHz bands. It also would make 7 GHz of spectrum available for unlicensed use in the 64-71 GHz band. Finally, the item proposes shared use of the 37-37.6 GHz band between commercial and federal users. The Further Notice will consider additional rule changes that could increase access to various bands above 24 GHz, including 70 GHz (71-76 GHz) and 80 GHz (81-86 GHz) bands.
