According to FierceWireless.com, “Verizon representatives who met with FCC officials on March 1 said they will be working with satellite providers to try to find common ground on potential interference issues between future mobile terrestrial operations and existing satellite earth stations in the 28 GHz band.”
FierceWireless.com reported that “Verizon says it supports rules that give existing earth station operators assurances they can continue their operations without making changes to avoid interference with new mobile uses. But future satellite operations at 28 GHz raise different considerations and Verizon says the FCC should reject requests to expand operations in the 28 GHz band to include movable operations and satellite user terminals, saying the Ku and other spectrum bands can be used for satellites.”
Verizon feels it important to quickly make higher band spectrum available for 5G and says “the band plans for millimeter wave spectrum should feature wide channels – at least 200 MHz wide – because 5G technologies require large amounts of spectrum for low latency and high-speed applications.”
During the meeting with FCC officials “Verizon provided an overview of its plans for 5G and the current status of several field trials that its 5G Technology Forum partners are conducting in various locations,” reported FierceWireless.com.
