The ITU’s World Radiocommunication Conference 2023<\/a> came to an end last week and one of its key decisions was to announce that the Upper 6GHz radio spectrum band (6425 to 7125MHz) can be used for mobile (5G<\/a> and 6G), but also allows regulators like Ofcom<\/a> in the UK to exploring a hybrid approach alongside WiFi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Ofcom<\/a> has already made the Lower part (5925 to 6425MHz) of the 6GHz<\/strong> band available for WiFi<\/a> under the new WiFi<\/a> 6E, WiFi 7 and future standards (here<\/a>), but the Upper part has remained the subject of some debate. Mobile operators wanted to harness it (licensed) to deliver faster 5G<\/a> based mobile speeds, while others say it should go toward licence-exempt consumer WiFi.<\/p>\n

Both sides of the debate have been able to field strong arguments and as a result Ofcom<\/a> have largely opted to play it safe by waiting to see what the WRC-23 would deliver. But at the end of last week the WRC-23 finally decided that the Upper 6GHz spectrum band is now the harmonised home for the expansion of mobile capacity for 5G<\/a>-Advanced and beyond, although it’s not quite that clear-cut.<\/p>\n

However, the decision doesn’t prevent national regulators from doing something different, and indeed Ofcom is currently still exploring the option of “hybrid sharing<\/em>” (details<\/a>). This could potentially enable, with some performance caveats (co-existence without causing interference is a challenge), the use of both Wi-Fi and mobile in the Upper 6GHz<\/strong> band.<\/p>\n

This is because the IMT identification for the Upper 6GHz band in all regions is just for the 100MHz portion 7025-7125 MHz. Due to this, we cannot say that the whole of the Upper 6GHz band was identified in all regions for mobile (in regions 2 and 3, a total of only four countries were identified for the 6425 to 7025MHz portion).<\/p>\n

John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer at the GSMA, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWRC-23 has provided a clear roadmap for mobile services to continue to evolve and expand for the benefit of billions across the globe. The GSMA believes that no-one should be left behind in the digital age and the decisions of WRC-23 will allow us to deliver a brighter future where mobile brings communities together, delivers industrial agility and provides economic growth. Implementation of the WRC-23 decisions will support global digital ambitions, deliver greater digital equality and unlock the full power of connectivity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition, the WRC-23 also defined mobile use of more low-band spectrum in the 470-694MHz band in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa). Low bands like this are good for improving mobile coverage in rural areas as they can reach much further, but they won’t improve mobile broadband speeds much due to the limited amount of spectrum frequency they hold.<\/p>\n

In the UK, Ofcom has already freed down to the 700MHz<\/strong> (694-790MHz) band for use by mobile networks, which shifted some Digital Terrestrial TV<\/strong> (DTTV) services into the 600MHz band and lower (starting around 470MHz). The reality is that DTTV is going to be around for a fair few years yet, but once it does end (i.e. people have shifted to broadband-based TV) then it looks increasingly likely that the bands will be used for mobile.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 19th Dec 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve had an update from Ofcom.<\/p>\n

Ofcom spokesperson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the WRC-23\u2019s decision on IMT identification for upper 6 GHz. We have been championing the exploration of hybrid use (use for both mobile and Wi-Fi) in collaboration with CEPT administrations and industry, as we see potential benefits for consumers.<\/p>\n

Ofcom \u2013 representing the UK \u2013 and our counterparts across Europe, successfully argued for potential use for both services to be recognised in the IMT identification text. This is an important milestone in making more spectrum available, and our work on this band will continue next year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
