High-Band Auction Moves US Step Closer to 5G, CTIA Says

CTIA applauds the FCC for wrapping up the world’s first high-band auction on Tuesday (see 1905280063), said Scott Bergmann, senior vice president-regulatory affairs. “We’re now one step closer to securing our nation’s 5G leadership,” he said Wednesday. “The 24 and 28 GHz bands will play a critical role in U.S. 5G deployments, and the conclusion of these auctions is an important milestone in the FCC’s 5GFast plan.”
