Global 6G spectrum allocation efforts

Overview

Global efforts to prepare for 6G technology deployment are focusing on the allocation of specific frequency bands. The GSMA has urged governments and regulatory bodies to release the 6.425 to 7.125 GHz band to meet an estimated 2030 deployment target, a request supported by over 60 companies in the telecommunications ecosystem.

In the United States, discussions have centered on the 4 GHz frequency band. While the 4.4–4.94 GHz range is currently used by federal agencies and the military, there is growing support to relocate some users to allow for commercial 5G and 6G mobile networks. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has been tasked with studying this band, with industry players such as Verizon and T-Mobile already conducting research or planning tests in related ranges.
