The FCC concluded its most recent 5G spectrum auction (107) last week, raising $80.916b for 5,684 licenses in the 3.7 – 3.98GHz. range. This auction was far ahead of expectations, which ranged from $35b to $51b and was almost double the previous highest auction’s results of $44.9b. The auction covered 411 cities with varying population, ranging from New York (2010 population 25.24m) to Van Horn, Texas (2010 population 5,874). It falls within the Sub6 category in 5G bands n77 and n78.
This mid-band spectrum represents a balance of speed and coverage that is necessary for US carriers who wish to expand their 5G service, while able to maintain reasonable costs associated with the expansion. And is in the middle of what is called the mid-band of the three 5G segments. Winners have yet to be announced.
