it’s time for the fcc to unleash the 12 ghz band.
To unleash the power of 5G, the FCC must move forward with its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to modernize rules and open up the 12 GHz band, securing America’s global leadership to protect national and economic security interests while bolstering competition and choices for the American public and businesses.
12 GHz is 5x bigger
than any other midband spectrum and has
0 federal
encumbrances.
Three technical reports clearly demonstrate that the 12 GHz band is the answer to meeting burgeoning U.S. 5G spectrum needs.
So, what makes 12 GHz so great for 5G?
According to an analysis by Roberson and Associates, a leading spectrum technology consulting firm, the propagation characteristics of the 12 GHz band are superior to other bands, making it ideal for 5G.
Greater Industry Competition
Faster & More Efficient Deployment
Better Signal Propagation
Fewer Base Stations Needed
A tangible impact.
require 15× fewer base stations,
saving consumers money
and connecting them faster.
The 12 GHz band will create over $1 trillion in total societal benefit.
According to an economic study from The Brattle Group, a highly respected global economics firm, unlocking the 12 GHz band for deployment of 5G will generate more than $50 billion in value created by mobile services and more than $1 trillion in total societal benefit.
