The lower portion of 6 GHz has been allocated for unlicensed use (including Wi-Fi) in many countries, while the upper 6 GHz portion was recently identified for mobile (IMT) use for some regions at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). In late 2024, Hong Kong became the first territory to hold… Read more...

The lower portion of 6 GHz has been allocated for unlicensed use (incl. Wi-Fi) in many countries, while the upper 6 GHz portion was recently identified for mobile (IMT) use for some regions at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). Following this identification, we expect more countries to begin allocating and… Read more...

While many countries have assigned the lower portion of the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use, the past year has seen an increase in support for an IMT identification in the upper portion of the band. Meanwhile, CEPT is studying a compromise solution that would incorporate wifi with mobile use. Read more...

Recent years have seen a growing number of nations allocating 600 MHz for IMT and there is an increase in planned assignments of this spectrum, notably in the Americas and Asia. This is a big contrast to 2021 when only two countries—the US and Canada—had licensed spectrum in the band. Read more...
