2019 showed us a number of spectrum allocations and changes to licensing protocols in anticipation of 5G technologies. 5G allocations continue to move forward, but the basic tenets from last year remain in place. What’s new are advances in unlicensed technologies which also require spectrum to provide real value for new applications and economic growth.

The Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA) will present an overview of the radio and regulatory side of unlicensed wireless technologies. We will focus on the spectral allocations that provide the additional pipe necessary for enormous bandwidth. We will hear from specialists about how these technologies fit into the modern world, what gaps exist in the ecosystem, and what spectrum is leverable?
