On September 18, 2020, the Department of Defense issued a request for information regarding dynamic spectrum access to the wireless industry, seeking insight into innovative solutions and technologies regarding its use in 5G networks. The request’s purpose was to assess the current spectrum allocation to accelerate spectrum sharing and 5G deployment and to ensure the greatest effective and efficient use of the Department of Defense’s spectrum for training and readiness.
5G Americas provides the following white paper in response to the Department of Defense RFI.
