26GHz band authorization is widely considered to be the most challenging

摘要

Globally, regulators are grappling with the idea of using new licensing models for mmWave spectrumsuch as the 26GHz band. Since the European Commission (EC) assigned the band as the third"pioneer band" for 5G in 2019, momentum has been picking up in the EU with several countriesplanning or already assigning the spectrum to operators. The Italian regulator took an innovativeapproach to licensing when it auctioned the 26GHz band in 2018. It allocated 200MHz to eachoperator but adopted a club licensing model that encourages dynamic use of the spectrum.
