C-Band Alliance Says Up to 200 MHz Could Be Cleared for 5G

Satellite operators proposing clearing part of the C-band for terrestrial use upped the amount of the 3.7-4.2 GHz band they believe can be cleared. The C-Band Alliance -- made up of C-band users Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat and Telesat -- said Monday it could clear up to 200 MHz within 18 to 36 months of a final FCC order. The operators previously identified 100 MHz (see 1802120043).
