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...

Adjacent to the upper 6 GHz band, this band is currently being studied for the potential use of mobile (IMT) at ITU level. Several incumbents in this range may need to migrate from the band before it can be used for 5G or 6G. 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...

This overview considers which spectrum bands may be used for 5G or 6G in the next few years. An overview of bands already being used for 4G and 5G can be found in a separate note. Read more...

Many countries and the European Union have decided to make the lower portion of the 6 GHz band available for unlicensed use. Yet the fate of the upper portion of the band remains a point of contention. Read more...

Many regulators are making this band available for unlicensed/licence exempt services, but the mobile industry may gain some access to this spectrum too. Read more...

6 GHz is a promising 5G frequency, likely to be subject to a long fight between mobile and unlicensed communities, possibly culminating at WRC-23. This note also considers proposals for other 5G bands above 6 GHz and below 24 GHz. Read more...

The ITU approved for further study just a single 5G band in 50-60 GHz. Industry is treating this as a lower priority than other neighbouring bands. Read more...
