On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a final rule on the federal register website to regulate the use of spectrum in the 37 GHz low band and above 24 GHz in mobile radio services. The rule will free up 600MHz of spectrum resources to support flexible fixed/mobile uses, including fixed wireless broadband and the Internet of Things (IoT). The new rules will come into effect on July 14, 2025. Click this link to view the original announcement.

The FCC also issued the Sponsoring Proposal Rules (FNPRM), which mainly involve:

  • Stricter emission limits for the Ultra-High Band Flexible Service (UMFUS) in the frequency band above 37 GHz;
  • Complementing the Final Rule with Supplemental Provisions;
  • Replace the existing coordination mechanism with a dynamic spectrum management system (DSMS);
  • Corrected the error of the power flux density (PFD) parameter in the UMFUS technical rules.

On June 5, 2025, France's National Spectrum Authority (ANFR) published a press release informing of the CROSSCALL S5 to address SAR compliance issues with an upgrade. The CROSSCALL S5 had a limb SAR value (4.33W/kg) that exceeded the regulatory requirement (4W/kg), and the CROSSCALL managed to perform a remote update after which now the limb SAR is 1.45W/kg, and ANFR recognized the compliance of the CROSSCALL software update.

On June 12, 2025, the ANFR released on its official website another  press release, which advertised the problem of the SAR value of 6.25W/kg for the limbs of the DOOGEE X98. ANFR finally made the decision to remove the DOOGEE X98 from the French market.
