Saudi Arabia launches first WiFi 6e network in Europe, Africa and Middle East region April 01, 2021 RIYADH The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) announced that it will be the first country in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East to make the full 6 GHz frequency band available for Wi-Fi use. That means there are now 150 percent more open airwaves that routers can use for the new generation of Wi-Fi network. By allocating 1,200 MHz of the radio spectrum for the WiFi6e, Saudi Arabia has now made 2,035 MHz of spectrum available for a new generation of WiFi and other license-exempt technologies more than any country in the world.

Brazilian regulator Anatel (Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicacoes) has cleared a proposal that will see the 6GHz (5925MHz-7125MHz) frequency band opened for unlicensed Wi-Fi 6E access.
Anatel approved the proposal after determining that using the 6GHz band for Wi-Fi could generate tremendous economic value, with CommsUpdate forecasting that it could add as much as a colossal US$112.1 billion to Brazil’s GDP up to 2030.
According to the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA), many Latin American countries are considering a similar strategy to maximize the value of their spectrum with Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico and Peru all expected to announce their plans for the 6GHz band this year.

05 March 2021 | Natalie Bannerman Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) president, Martha Suarez has praised Brazil’s Anatel for granting unlicensed access to the complete 5925-7124 MHz band (6GHz band).
According to DSA, the move will unlock $163.5 billion for the Brazil economy and will position it as a hub for the development of new technologies and use cases, all of which will greatly benefit its local economy.
“The allocation of the full 6 GHz band is critical so that technologies using unlicensed spectrum, such as Wi-Fi 6E, may launch, develop, and thrive in Brazil,” said Suarez (pictured above).
