US 28 GHz

The n261 band is a subset of the n257 (28 GHz) band, established to match the United States' 28 GHz band plan. Development of the 28 GHz band is ongoing and is headed up by 3GPP TR 38.815. Like all mmWave bands, n261 is a capacity layer designed for short range transmission with high data rates.

Most trials and deployments of the n261 (28 GHz) band were as Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), until mmWave mobility was introduced in early 2019.
