As demand for 5G, private wireless, and fixed wireless access accelerates, industry stakeholders are closely watching which spectrum bands the FCC and NTIA may release next—and on what timeline. This panel will examine candidate bands under active federal review, including mid-band and upper mid-band options, and explore spectrum sharing models under consideration to better utilize existing federal allocations. Experts from government, industry, and policy circles will discuss the implications of the National Spectrum Strategy, the role of dynamic sharing frameworks like CBRS, and how interagency coordination affects timing and access. What bands could open next, and how should the ecosystem prepare?
