jio airtel and vi wants goverment to

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), all the private telecom operators in India, have a request from the Government of India (GoI). The telcos have requested that the government should reserve the entire 1200 MHz bandwidth in the 6 GHz band for IMT (licensed mobile) services. According to the telcos, the 6th generation (6G) technology and 5G services both require the 6 GHz band. For the unaware, the 6 GHz band comprises 1200 MHz spectrum in the range of 6425 MHz – 7125 MHz.

Reliance Jio said, “The authority (TRAI) should allocate the entire 1200 MHz of the 6 GHz band (5925–7125 MHz) for IMT and other licensed use.” The telco believes that reserving 500 MHz bandwidth in the lower portion of 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi would be counterproductive. It could lead to long-term interference.

The DoT (Department of Telecommunications) said in the draft rules that it wants to keep 500 units of lower portion of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi use, while the other 700 MHz will be used for mobile. However, the telcos don’t find it an appealing route. Bharti Airtel has said a similar thing.

Accordiing to Airtel, “Coexistence and interference mitigation issues with incumbent services, particularly satellite earth stations operating within or adjacent to this band, are yet to be comprehensively resolved.”
