Satellite companies Intelsat and SES said they have agreed to back a proposal submitted to the FCC for approval that aims to protect satellite service in the 3700-4200 MHz C-band downlink spectrum while opening up about 100 MHZ of the band for mobile operators rolling out 5G service.

Proposal calls for a market-based solution establishing a C-band consortium

5G’s steady worldwide march is increasingly putting more pressure on C-band satellite usage

NSR analysis says the companies stand to benefit greatly from the sale of 500MHz of C-band spectrum.

Proposal would move certain 5G networks into C-band 'overlap.'

Four major satellite operators have formed the C-Band Alliance (CBA), a consortium established to facilitate clearing part of the C-band in the United States for 5G wireless service use.

As 5G pressures increase, another repack may be in the works.
