No matter where you go who and you’re talking to, 5G is at the center of conversations about exciting new technology.

NTT DOCOMO presented its recommendation for which frequency bands should be used during the last RAN4 meeting (#82) in a Way Forward (WF). To allocate additional mmWave bands for flexible use and future proposed rulemaking, the FCC approved the Spectrum Frontiers Proposal in July 2016.
