The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could release the largest amount of spectrum available so far for satellite broadband in the United States. This week, the regulatory body voted to initiate a procedure to make more than 20,000 MHz available for satellite services, an amount that exceeds the total amount of spectrum available for this sector today. Particularly, the FCC is exploring the possibility of releasing frequencies in four radi…

FCC Looks to Free Up More than 20,000 MHz for Satellite Broadband - Inside Towers

The FCC voted to explore ways that the 12.7-13.25 GHz and 42.0-42.5 GHz bands could be used more intensively by satellite communications, as an alternative or a complement to the previous proposals for terrestrial wireless communications in these bands. Officials said the proceeding would unlock more than 20,000 MHz of spectrum for high-speed internet delivered from space. They noted that amount is more than the sum total of all spectrum availab…

FCC makes move to free up satellite spectrum

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioners voted in favour of opening a rulemaking process that could free up more than 20,000MHz of satellite broadband spectrum, which chair Brendan Carr stated is more than the total sum currently available for satellite systems. The FCC is seeking public comment on expanding satellite connectivity across spectrum bands: 12.7GHz-13.25GHz, 42.0-42.5GHz, 51.4-52.4GHz, and the so-called “W-band” at 92.0…
