6 GHz band
DIPA highlighted that the 6 GHz band, spanning from 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz, is classified as a mid-band frequency range and is regarded as a valuable portion of the spectrum due to its capability to support a wide array of wireless communication services efficiently. The 6 GHz band holds potential for 5G connectivity, offering substantial coverage, enhanced capacity, improved network performance, and ample bandwidth.
T R Dua, the Director-General of the Digital Infrastructure Providers Association, lauded TRAI's white paper on the 6 GHz band. He said, "The 6 Gigahertz (GHz) band is indeed becoming a focal point of discussion in the telecommunications sector, and it holds significant potential for addressing the increasing demand for spectrum in our interconnected world."
6 GHz band crucial for 5G
"As wireless communication and broadcasting services continue to expand and evolve, the allocation and utilization of spectrum become critical for ensuring efficient and reliable connectivity. The 6 GHz band can also be utilized for backhaul connections in 5G networks. It can support the high bandwidth and low latency requirements of 5G infrastructure, ensuring the efficient operation of next-generation wireless networks," Dua added.
