FCC expands 3.7-4.2 GHz band, C-band repack, 280 MHz for flexible use, upcoming 5G auction. CFR 47 sections 25, 27, 101 affected.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an update of their rules expanding the flexible use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz band in the federal register as of April 23rd, 2020. The reform of the given frequency band also known as C-band repacks the existing satellite operations into the upper 200 MHz of the band while providing a 20 MHz guard band and providing a 280 MHz of spectrum for flexible use throughout the contiguous United States. The commission will hold an auction later this year to enable a quick deployment of the spectrum for upcoming 5G devices.
Effected by the rule changes are the sections 25, 27 and 101 of the CFR 47.
