The C-band transition in the United States has moved from planning to execution. Operators are now actively working to complete site work, stabilize routing and redundancy, and modernize how C-band workflows move to IP. NetActuate is your turnkey global partner to accelerate that work with edge cloud, Open Network Edge (ONE), and one of the world’s largest Anycast networks.
The FCC repurposed the 3.7 – 4.2 GHz band by clearing 3.7 – 3.98 GHz for flexible use, establishing 3.98 – 4.0 GHz as a guard band, and moving incumbent satellite operations into the upper portion of the band.

The FCC framework established Phase I and Phase II accelerated deadlines in 2021 and 2023, with an ultimate transition deadline of December 5, 2025. The industry has now passed the major readiness milestones, while regulators have noted that C-band relocation work continues through remaining process details and follow-on activities.
C-band modernization is now in execution. In practical terms, 2026 is when many operators are focused on finishing modernization projects and scaling stable, repeatable communication architectures across sites.
The FCC is still actively exploring additional changes in the upper C-band, which reinforces the need for infrastructure that is flexible, repeatable, and partner-friendly.
Open Network Edge (ONE) is NetActuate’s open source, distributed IaaS designed for deployment flexibility across cloud, VMs, colocation, and bare metal, providing everything needed to architect cloud environments and extensible infrastructure. Standardize builds across sites so you can scale faster and operate consistently.
NetActuate supports cloud, VMs, colocation, bare metal, storage, and Kubernetes-ready deployments, all connected with Anycast connectivity. This is ideal when you need to terminate, process, secure, and route traffic close to where it enters the network, then deliver it onward with low latency and high availability.
C-band modernization succeeds when teams can deploy and iterate quickly across sites. We support engineering-led integrations and APIs, and provide tooling and automation workflows in our customer portal. To build CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, or automation, NetActuate Consulting covers architecture, DevOps, vNOC, smarter hands, and logistics as needed.
NetActuate works with partners that offer the software layers on top of the NetActuate stack for things like workflow management, encoding/transcoding, multiplexing, and OTT platforms for content providers, broadcasters, operators, and more.
Service providers are taking advantage of the C-band spectrum changes in several areas.
The FCC voted Nov. 20, 2025 to advance a notice of proposed rulemaking that would clear spectrum in the 3.98 to 4.2 gigahertz upper C-band for auction and eventual wireless use. Companies are now incorporating this transition into their business models.
NetActuate offers edge infrastructure and networking solutions for multi-site edge buildouts, transport and compute integration, and delivery of C-band workflows over IP.
Contribution-grade transport requirements look more like mission-critical transport with engineered routing and redundancy, deterministic failover behavior, sensitivity to packet loss, predictable high-throughput traffic and more.
