Below you can search or filter current mobile assignments in over 120 countries. You can also view expired assignments or all assignments separately. Other aspects of the database are presented in these tables: MHz/pop pricing and spectrum allocations. The Database is updated quarterly. Read more...

Search and filter pricing data from over 900 licences. Other aspects of the database are presented in separate online tables spectrum allocations, all assignments, current assignments, and expired assignments. These are updated quarterly. Read more...

There are currently two major harmonisation efforts ongoing at the EU level: the technical harmonisation of the 3.8—4.2 GHz band and a hybrid solution for the upper 6 GHz band. Read more...

The idea of pan-European spectrum regulation has been circling for decades but this year it received significant political backing. Read more...

Decisions about spectrum use in Europe are made both at the national and EU level. This research note explores the EU spectrum policy framework. Read more...

Many countries are investing heavily in 6G R&D programmes. R&D agendas are seeking to align with the ITU’s IMT-2030 framework and to feed into the ongoing 6G standardisation process. Many 6G R&D initiatives involve multi-year funding for public-private projects involving multiple organisations focused on building 6G platforms and developing 6G… Read more...

Both 3GPP and the ITU are progressing agendas to identify spectrum for satellites and other non-terrestrial networks. 3GPP Release 19 anticipates adding spectrum in the Ku-band, while WRC-27 will consider several new mobile satellite service ranges, including spectrum for satellite direct-to-device connectivity. Read more...

6G IMT-2030 networks will use multiple frequency bands—existing terrestrial bands, repurposed bands, and spectrum in new bands. This Research Note examines the current state of 6G IMT spectrum identifications and leading candidate bands for future use. A complementary Note looks at the status of the spectrum targeted for use by… Read more...

3GPP and the ITU are moving forward with standardisation work towards 6G across both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks and ultimately the full integration of the two. 3GPP 6G normative standards are expected in Release 21, developed in the 2027 to 2029 timeframe, with the ITU set to establish formal 6G… Read more...

Regional and national 6G roadmaps are seeking to align with the ITU’s IMT-2030 (6G) framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, along with standards developments as they progress in 3GPP. In 2024, national agendas are moving from concepts and visions to more concrete and directional strategies. While many of… Read more...
