Apple is asking the FCC for a license to test high-band millimeter wave technology in devices ahead of the anticipated launch of 5G networks using such technology before the end of the decade.
Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) wants to test on 28GHz and 39GHz spectrum at its headquarters in Cupertino, and in Milpitas, Calif.
"Apple Inc. seeks to assess cellular link performance in direct path and multipath environments between base station transmitters and receivers using this spectrum. These assessments will provide engineering data relevant to the operation of devices on wireless carriers' future 5G networks," the company said in documentation filed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) , first reported by Business Insider.
