2300-2400 MHz Spectrum December 2021 Update
Snapshot of National Spectrum Positions: Spectrum from 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz
Introduction
Spectrum in the 2300-2400 MHz range is widely used for mobile services, and during 2021 more countries are considering or planning to assign spectrum in this range for use in LTE and 5G networks. The charts in this document show GSA’s current understanding of the state of mobile operator licensing around the world at 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz.
The following definitions are used:
• Considering/consulting on options: In the early stages of deciding if, what and when to make spectrum in this range available.
• Planned assignment: A definite decision has been made to assign spectrum in this range. Now in the assignment preparation stage, which can include further consultations on which specific blocks within the range to assign, finalising the band plan, how to assign, details of the assignment process, price setting etc.
• Ongoing assignment: Requests/invitations to participate have been issued, with definite date for auction/assignment proceedings.
• Ongoing Consultation: A public consultation has been opened to decide if, what, and when to make spectrum in this range available. Assigned (cannot be used for 5G): used where spectrum has been assigned for a pre 5G technology (e.g., 2G, or FWA) and we understand 5G is not currently permitted.
• Assigned: Used where spectrum has been assigned nationwide or regionally, with individual licensing for public mobile or FWA networks.
• Local/private licensing: Spectrum set aside for individual licensing on a local basis.
• Precise range to be confirmed: Activity or assignments are known, but the exact spectrum ranges concerned are to be clarified.
