Overview
spectrum: 25 to 32 GHz
Bandwidth:150 MHz to 1.15 GHz
The FCC awarded U.S. LMDS licenses in two blocks, A and B. The "Block A" winners received 1.15 GHz of bandwidth composed of three segments: 27.5 to 28.35 GHz, 29.1 to 29.25 GHz, and 31.075 to 31.225 GHz. The "Block B" winners received 150 MHz of bandwidth composed of two segments: 31.0 to 31.075 GHz and 31.225 to 31.3 GHz.
Canada has allocated six 500 MHz wide blocks of radio spectrum for LMCS operations in the 25.35 - 28.35 GHz band. Initial LMCS license awards in Canada consisted of two contiguous 500 MHz spectrum blocks covering 27.35 to 28.35 GHz.
