5G, what’s new in America on military frequencies
A wide range of military radio frequencies will be marketed to be released for civilian use and in this case to allow companies such as AT&T and Verizon to participate in a tender to win the segments of that band
A solution for 5G has emerged from the Pentagon's cylinder that will make the government and commercial operators happy.
This is a plan, developed in great secrecy in the last four months, to commercialize a wide range of military radio frequencies to be released for civilian use and in this case to allow companies such as AT&T and Verizon to participate in a tender to win. segments in that band and offer their own 5G commercial service.
THE AMBIT PROJECT HAS BEEN CULTIVATED BY DIFFERENT FEDERAL AGENCIES INCLUDING PENTAGONO AND CASA BIANCA
The idea was born from a group of people belonging to different federal agencies, including the White House and the Pentagon, who joined forces in the AMBIT project ("America's Mid-Band Initiative Team), whose goal was precisely to make the segment available. of the 100 MHz band for commercial use.
Simultaneously working on the project were n. 1 Pentagon Mark Esper, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadeows, who chaired Ambit's panel, and were joined by National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, Department of Defense Information Chief Dana Daisy, and by Air Force General and Deputy Chief of Joint Staff John E. Hyten.
This working group was supported for the appropriate technical profiles by a "Mid-Band Spectrum Working Group" which included experts in fields such as land and naval communications and electronic warfare and which came from all branches of the Department of Defense.
AFTER 15 WEEKS OF WORK THE GROUP HAS IDENTIFIED AN AVAILABLE BAND SEGMENT
After just 15 weeks of work, overcoming the suspicions and jealousies of their respective agencies, the group succeeded in identifying an available band segment close to but not contiguous to what the Department of Defense uses for its radar and missile operations. , electronic warfare, air defense, etc.
AMBIT swears that the proposed solution will ensure a contiguous band of bandwidth available to the private sector in all EU states.
At the end of the technical phase, it will be up to the Federal Communication Commission to auction the available portions of spectrum to those who request them.
THE OPENING OF THE FCC
In this regard, FCC President Ajit Paj, visiting the White House last week, has already declared that the project represents "a milestone to ensure US leadership in 5G" and that his agency will work to prepare as soon as possible the procedures necessary to proceed with the auction.
