Rosenworcel Proposes October Auction of 3.45 GHz Band for 5G

Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel circulated for a vote at the March 17 commissioners’ meeting a draft order launching an October auction of the 3.45-3.55 GHz band for 5G. She also circulated a draft public notice on bidding procedures.

Rosenworcel proposed flexible-use rules, said a news release: “It would establish a framework for coordination of non-federal and federal use and establish a band plan, as well as technical, licensing, and competitive bidding rules for the band."
