mmWave Spectrum Deployment (24GHz+)

This dataset provides detailed records of global mmWave 5G deployments in the high-band spectrum (24-100GHz), including spectrum bands, beamforming configurations, coverage metrics, small cell densities, and supported use cases such as Fixed Wireless Access and urban hotspots. It enables analysis of deployment strategies, technology adoption, and performance limitations across diverse environments, supporting research, planning, and benchmarking in next-generation wireless networks.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 130 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Site ID and mmWave band deployed (n257: 28GHz, n258: 26GHz, n260: 39GHz, n261: 28GHz)
Bandwidth: typically 50-400MHz channels for high capacity
Beamforming: analog, digital, or hybrid beamforming
Beam management: beam sweeping, beam tracking, beam failure recovery
Coverage radius: typically 100-400m due to propagation losses
Deployment scenario: urban hot spot, stadium, FWA (Fixed Wireless Access), indoor
Small cell density required for contiguous coverage
Indoor penetration challenges and outdoor-to-indoor solutions
