Fibertowers OTHER spectrum. I was re-reading the court opinions from back in 2015 and something caught my eye that I didn't see before.
"FiberTower provides “wireless backhaul” — i.e., the
transmission of voice and data between cell towers and regional
or national networks — to cellular companies and public
agencies. It owns over 3,000 licenses in the 11 GHz, 18 GHz,
and 23 GHz bands, and acquired through a merger in 2006 over
seven hundred licenses in the 24 GHz and 39 GHz bands, see In
re Matter of ART Licensing Corp., 23 FCC Rcd. 14116, ¶ 4
(WTB Oct. 2, 2008) (“2008 Bureau Order”); In re Matter of
FiberTower Spectrum Holdings LLC, 27 FCC Rcd. 13562, ¶ 2
(WTB Nov. 7, 2012) (“Bureau Order”)."
As I understand it, ATT wants 39GHz for "fixed wireless" 5G ie: cable replacement. For 5G mobile wireless, I know carriers are working on 11 AND 18GHz for 5G mobile.
Anyone have any info on the 11 and 18GHz licences?
