FCC AUTHORIZES FULL COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT IN
\n3.5 GHZ BAND, ADVANCING AMERICAN 5G LEADERSHIP<\/h1>\n

WASHINGTON, January 27, 2020\u2014Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai today announced that the agency has certified four Spectrum Access System (SAS) Administrators, paving the way for full commercial operations in the 3.5 GHz band. Last year, the FCC approved these SAS Administrators for initial commercial deployments. Today\u2019s action allows for full commercial use of this critical mid-band spectrum for broadband connectivity and 5G.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FCC has made it a priority to free up mid-band spectrum for advanced wireless services like 5G. And today, I\u2019m pleased to announce the latest step to achieve that priority: the approval of four systems that will enable the 3.5 GHz band to be put to use for the benefit of American consumers and businesses,\u201d said Chairman Pai. \u201cAs with all of our efforts to execute on the 5G FAST plan, we\u2019re pushing to get next-generation wireless services deployed in the 3.5 GHz band as quickly and efficiently as possible. I would like to thank Commissioner Mike O\u2019Rielly for his leadership throughout this proceeding as well as the FCC staff and those in the private sector who have worked so hard to achieve this milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n
