Following the release of several GHz of sp ectrum in the mmwave and sub-mmwave ranges a few years ago\, the US FCC em barked upon releasing additional spectrum in the mid-ranges to accelerate the expansion of 5G by providing more spectral choices to uses. These effo rts\, aside from being exceptionally expeditious\, have used novel approac hes to arrive at suitable regulatory solutions. From financial incentives to FSS operators in C-band to devising an Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) vehicle in 6 GHz\, these bold solutions are leading to several “f irst of its kind” solutions\, paving the way towards taking full advanta ge of recent technological developments such as 5G and Wi-Fi 6E.In this pr esentation\, we look at background and outcome of the FCC’s proceedings related to:\n\n- 3.7-4.2 GHz\n- 3.55-3.7 GHz\n- 5.925-7.125 GHz\n\nWe will also briefly consider future proceedings related to:\n\n- 3.45-3.55 GHz\n - 4.94-4.99 GHz\n\nAbout our Speaker:\n\nReza Arefi leads Emerging Spectru m Strategies and Planning at Intel.

Following the release of several GHz of spectrum in the mmwave and sub-mmwave ranges a few year s ago\, the US FCC embarked upon releasing additional spectrum in the mid- ranges to accelerate the expansion of 5G by providing more spectral choice s to uses. These efforts\, aside from being exceptionally expeditious\, ha ve used novel approaches to arrive at suitable regulatory solutions. From financial incentives to FSS operators in C-band to devising an Automated F requency Coordination (AFC) vehicle in 6 GHz\, these bold solutions are le ading to several &ldquo\;first of its kind&rdquo\; solutions\, paving the way towards taking full advantage of recent technological developments suc h as 5G and Wi-Fi 6E.In this presentation\, we look at background and outc ome of the FCC&rsquo\;s proceedings related to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.7-4.2 GHz </li>\n<li>3.55-3.7 GHz</li>\n<li>5.925-7.125 GHz</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We will also briefly consider future proceedings related to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.45-3 .55 GHz</li>\n<li>4.94-4.99 GHz</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>About our Speaker:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Reza Arefi leads Emerging Spectrum Strategies and Planning at Intel.
