At the Brooklyn 5G Summit in New York today, FCC deputy chief of technology Michael Ha said that he expects high-band frequency bands to be available for auction in 2019. This is critical for 5G operators as this previously-unavailable spectrum is considered vital for the high speeds 5G will provide.
Ha confirmed that the 28GHz and 24GHz auctions are expected first, with 39GHz also on the list for 2019.
