Table of Contents
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a final rule to expand how wireless services can use a specific slice of radio frequencies known as the Upper C-band (3.98-4.2 GHz). This action creates a single service that covers both the lower and upper parts of this frequency range, making it easier for companies to use the spectrum for mobile networks.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative step that prepares more radio spectrum for commercial wireless use, likely for 5G or future mobile technologies, while managing the costs of moving existing satellite users out of the way.
