Dish Network is asking the Federal Communications Commission for a special temporary authorization to use 600 MHz band spectrum currently licensed to Bluewater Wireless for a three month period with the aim of carrying out 5G tests in Denver and Las Vegas using carrier aggregation technology in the 600 MHz band.
Dish added that Bluewater has provided written consent for this authorization. Dish made its request to the FCC in the form of a letter, because the FCC’s typical STA process doesn’t allow applications to use 600 MHz spectrum that is licensed to someone else.
