Oneweb Backs Spacex In The Dispute Over The 12Ghz Frequency

In the fight over accessing the 12GHz radio spectrum for 5G and satellite internet services, OneWeb has joined SpaceX.

OneWeb is developing an enterprise-focused version of SpaceX’s high-speed satellite internet service.

In light of this, the corporation urged the Federal Communication Commission in a document to deny a proposal to allow ground-based 5G to operate in the 12GHz range.

OneWeb stated in the filing:

Dish Network and the 12GHz for 5G consortium did, however, have some intriguing things to say about the filing.

Dish has already attempted to play down concerns that their 12GHz plans would have a negative impact on people who use satellite internet.

Dish claims that OneWeb and SpaceX are now allegedly engaged in a public disinformation effort through the 5G for 12 Ghz group. The group cites alternate research that indicates there won’t be any problems with their intentions to use the 12GHz radio spectrum and that the two uses can coexist.
