To say we’re in the early days of 5G is an understatement, but regulators and academics in the U.S. are already looking to what’s next. Last week the U.S. Federal Communications Commission voted to open up frequencies from 95 GHz to 3 THz for potential use in mobile communications. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai called the move to open up 21 gigahertz of Terahertz spectrum for unlicensed use “groundbreaking,” and added, “This will give innovators strong incentives to develop new technologies using these airwaves while also protecting existing uses.”
