Terming the decision of WRC identifying the upper 6 GHz band for IMT or mobile use as “groundbreaking”, GSMA said it would serve as a critical developmental trigger for manufacturers of the 6 GHz equipment ecosystem.

According to ITU-recognised body IAFI, spectrum in 6 Ghz band has last set of radio frequencies available that can be used for 5G and 6G services at affordable costs while other set of frequencies marked for them are in higher frequency bands.
