There are disputes between the mobile and satellite industries over spectrum in many bands, and the latest to raise its head is in 12 GHz in the US. Most operators see midband spectrum as the most important for early 5G roll-outs. It is higher capacity than bands below 2 GHz, and so better suited to the first-stage deployment pattern that many will adopt, using 5G to add capacity in targeted areas or applications, while retaining LTE as the wide area coverage layer. On the other hand, midband has fewer of the propagation issues of millimeter wave spectrum, and is a better known quantity for wireless network and device design. The C-Band spectrum between 3.4 GHz and 4.2 GHz is perhaps…
