Earlier today at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman, Jessica Rosenworcel, revealed that they will be holding a 5G auction for 2.5GHz mid-band spectrum in July. And according to reports, T-Mobile has plans to join the auction.
Despite already using several 2.5GHz spectrum, T-Mo is reportedly planning to join the auction so it could expand its 5G service even more.
During her keynote speech at the MWC, the FCC Chairwoman talked about how it’s necessary to pave the way for 6G. Rosenworcel also talked about having a different approach on how 5G has been deployed in the country.
“Let’s not forget the lessons we’ve learned with millimeter wave spectrum and 5G,” Rosenworcel said. “These waves are fragile. And while there’s a lot of this spectrum to deploy, it doesn’t travel very far, and right now deploying it is awfully costly.”
Rosenworcel has been vocal about the country’s lack of cohesive spectrum policy and how this has impacted 5G rollout. Even though 6G is far from being deployed, the Chairwoman already wants to have a headstart on identifying mid-band spectrum that will be able to support faster speeds and wider coverage.
“It’s not too early to harmonize these efforts around the world, because that’s how we will ensure that this next generation can reach everyone everywhere.”
