This band is being considered as a potential 6G candidate band due to its large bandwidth availability, although there are concerns about atmospheric attenuation. More R&D on the D band is planned for the coming years. Read more...

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...

So far, only two countries have taken steps to make this band available for mobile. WRC-23 will consider an IMT identification for 10-10.5 GHz in Region 2. Read more...

In 2022, a growing number of nations are allocating 600 MHz for IMT and there is an uptake of planned assignments of this spectrum, notably in the Americas and Asia. This is a significant change since 2021 when only two countries – the US and Canada – had licensed spectrum… Read more...

WRC-23 will consider an IMT identification for 10-10.5 GHz in Region 2. Prior to WRC-19 there appeared limited international pressure for commercial use of this spectrum. Momentum may build around 10 GHz as a licensed 5G candidate band as a result of WRC-19. Read more...
