U.S. Wireless Spectrum Overview
• The FCC regulates the use of radio frequencies within the U.S., assigning usage rights and conditions to
various bands across geographic sub-areas. ITU & WRC regulate internationally. Radio frequency physics
favor lower frequencies for greater signal carrying distance as well as structure & foliage penetration.
• Most non-governmental frequencies are licensed, often via auctions to commercial entities and reserved
exclusively for their use. Cellular (& unlicensed Wi-Fi) dominate mobile connectivity. Microwave &
millimeter wave are commonly used for broadcast, backhaul & PtP. FCC considering additional licensed
bands for commercial/public purposes by reallocating spectrum and at times relocating existing uses.
• A limited amount of unlicensed spectrum is currently available, however more is being considered or
processed for release. 902-928 MHz has been used for consumer and commercial devices since 1993. The
explosion of Wi-Fi is the result of developments in 2.4 & 5 GHz unlicensed bands. Mobile uses and the
emergence of IoT is driving demand for more unlicensed bandwidth & bringing new delivery protocols.
CBRS at 3550-3700 MHz is of special interest as a new shared unlicensed option. The FCC is considering
enabling flexible use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band. White spaces wireless will share unlicensed, reallocated
500-700 MHz TV bands reaching to 10 km NLOS now & up to 100 km in the future, outstanding for WRAN.

  • 3. U.S. Wireless Spectrum Overview • The FCC regulates the use of radio frequencies within the U.S., assigning usage rights and conditions to various bands across geographic sub-areas. ITU & WRC regulate internationally. Radio frequency physics favor lower frequencies for greater signal carrying distance as well as structure & foliage penetration. • Most non-governmental frequencies are licensed, often via auctions to commercial entities and reserved exclusively for their use. Cellular (& unlicensed Wi-Fi) dominate mobile connectivity. Microwave & millimeter wave are commonly used for broadcast, backhaul & PtP. FCC considering additional licensed bands for commercial/public purposes by reallocating spectrum and at times relocating existing uses. • A limited amount of unlicensed spectrum is currently available, however more is being considered or processed for release. 902-928 MHz has been used for consumer and commercial devices since 1993. The explosion of Wi-Fi is the result of developments in 2.4 & 5 GHz unlicensed bands. Mobile uses and the emergence of IoT is driving demand for more unlicensed bandwidth & bringing new delivery protocols. CBRS at 3550-3700 MHz is of special interest as a new shared unlicensed option. The FCC is considering enabling flexible use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band. White spaces wireless will share unlicensed, reallocated 500-700 MHz TV bands reaching to 10 km NLOS now & up to 100 km in the future, outstanding for WRAN. 10 KHz 1 MHz 100 MHz 10 GHz 1THzDC 100 Hz
