Footnotes:

  1. BW of 775 MHz for U-NII-1 to U-NII-4. U-NII-1=5.15-5.25 GHz; U-NII-2A=5.25-5.35 GHz; U-NII-2B=5.35-5.47 GHz; U-NII-2C=5.47-5.725 GHz; U-NII-3=5.725-5.85 GHz; U-NII-4 = 5.85 - 5.925 GHz (DSRC/ITS/C-V2X = 5.895-5.925 GHz).

  2. 1.2 GHz Bandwidth for U-NII-5 to U-NII-8. U-NII-5=5.925-6.425 GHz; U-NII-6=6.425-6.525 GHz; U-NII-7=6.525-6.875 GHz; U-NII-8=6.875-7.125 GHz.

  3. 47 CFR § 97.303 authorizes amateur radio operators to transmit at 5.65-5.725 GHz. 

  4. Although the 60 GHz band is global, the 57-71 GHz is U.S.-specific. Other jurisdictions have different ranges, typically up to 64 or 66 GHz. 

  5. TV Whitespace covers just the unused frequency bands between channels spanning this frequency band (UHF and VHF TV channels).
