In comments filed with the Federal Communications Commission and members of Congress today, the researcher credited with proving to the wireless communications world that millimeter wave communications should become the backbone for 5G cellular cast his support for a proposed FCC ham radio rule, predicting it would open exciting opportunities for growth in amateur radio …

The Federal Communications Commission adopted new rules to encourage the development of new communications technologies and expedite the deployment of new services in the spectrum above 95 GHz. This spectrum has long been considered the outermost horizon of the usable spectrum range, but rapid advancements in radio technology have made these bands especially ripe for …

On March 15, 2019, the Federal Communications Commission began considering opening up a new spectrum of radio waves that researchers believe could become integral to the sixth generation of wireless communications (6G) as part of the never-ending quest to send more data more quickly over the air.  The FCC chairman invited the researcher who …

Yes, it sounds crazy — and yes, we’re still at the very early stages of 5G — but it is officially time to start talking about 6G. The FCC voted on March 15, 2018 to approve experiments in spectrum above 95GHz. “Prior to this decision, the commission had no rules for authorizing communications above 95GHz, …

The FCC unanimously voted to adopt new rules related to the spectrum above 95 GHz that encourage the development of new technologies—and may even lead to 6G. Once thought to be more or less useless—similar to how much of the industry used to think of the millimeter wave spectrum that’s now being deployed for 5G—these …

What wireless devices could work in the heady region between 95GHz and 3THz? That’s the question the chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission is asking. The FCC will start work on releasing a whopping 21 GHz of spectrum above 95GHz at proceedings in March. In addition, it aims to open up bands from 95GHz …
