6G: Telcos seek more airwaves for smooth 5G services, 6G rollout
The Indian telecom sector has urged the government to allocate additional airwaves to ensure the seamless rollout of 5G and 6G services. SP Kochhar, director-general of the CCOAI, said that each telecom operator requires approximately 2 GHz in the mid-band for 5G and 6G use by 2030. While the mid-band, particularly the c-band (3.3-4.2 GHz), is ideal for 5G and 6G, challenges arise due to the current allocation for defence and other purposes.
