5G Americas Urges Action on Smaller High-Frequency Antennas

Support is broad on a proposal for smaller, lighter antennas in the 70/80/90 GHz bands, said 5G Americas Monday in a filing in FCC docket 10-153. This “would facilitate deployment of 5G,” and similar antennas are widely used in Europe, the advocacy group said: “The public interest would be served by granting these proposed amendments immediately, independent of the Commission’s continued consideration of more complex proposals to add new services to the band.”
