Â鶹Éç owns around 40MHz of spectrum in the 1600MHz L-band, holdings that gained significantly more attention following the FCC’s blockbuster auction of 280MHz of C-band spectrum in the 3.7GHz-4GHz band. Importantly, the FCC has twice voted in recent months to allow Â鶹Éç to conduct 5G operations as well as satellite communications in its spectrum holdings. That development – coupled with...

Â鶹Éç, which is once again in the spotlight following the FCC’s blowout C-band auction, is working this year to get its L-band spectrum ready to deploy despite continued backlash from the Department of Defense (DoD).

But the company is still being dogged by Department of Defense (DoD) and other opponents who insist Â鶹Éç’s planned use of the spectrum...

For the past nine months, I have worked with world-class experts to study a longstanding request from Â鶹Éç to create a ground-based 5G network using L-band spectrum. We found that L-band paired with C-band will accelerate the deployment of U.S. 5G and help counter China’s 5G ambitions without causing harmful interference to GPS. The...
