AT&T declined to share what spectrum bands it will use for the 5G launch, but confirmed to MWL the deployments will be 3GPP standards-based. AT&T tested 5G at both 28GHz and 39GHz, delivering DirecTV service to customers over the latter in fixed-wireless tests with Nokia conducted in February 2017. T-Mobile’s Ray speculated AT&T’s network would use mmWave spectrum and highlighted the 39GHz band as the “prime candidate”.

However, AT&T is still awaiting regulatory approval for an acquisition of FiberTower, which would give the operator access to a trove of 24GHz and 39GHz licences. The deal was announced quietly in February 2017.

on a side note, is there any law or regulation that require the has to be wrapped up with a year? we are getting close to the year mark, and the shot clock is wayyy over.
