FCC Takes Steps to Open Spectrum Horizons for New Services and Technologies
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 …

NYU WIRELESS Founder Comments on FCC Race Toward 6G Wireless Communications
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 …

It’s Officially Time to Start Talking About 6G
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, …

FCC moves to open spectrum above 95 GHz for new technologies
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 …

EETimes: FCC to Build +95GHz Sandbox
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 …
Microwave Journal: Interview with Prof. Theodore (Ted) Rappaport of NYU WIRELESS
![Ted Rappaport](https://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/stream1-700x386.jpg)
Verizon deployed mmWave fixed wireless access service late last year in Sacramento (CA) as one of their pilot cities. Recently, Earl Lum surveyed the location of most of the access points and determined their coverage would be marginal and thus results were probably not that great due to the location of many of them – …
