Europe decides tomorrow if the future of connectivity will be for telcos or for Wi-Fi
Europe is set to decide on the future of wireless connectivity, with a key decision on how to allocate the 6 GHz frequency band. This decision will impact the development of both Wi-Fi 7 and the future of 6G mobile networks. The ruling will be made by European regulators. The Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) is currently evaluating how to distribute the 6 GHz band, which is crucial for high-capacity connectivity technologies. This band is essential for advancements in Wi-Fi 7 and the forthcoming 6G. The allocation is a subject of debate between telecommunications operators and the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance. Telecommunications companies, represented by GSMA, are advocating for exclusive use of the 6 GHz band, emphasizing its importance for 5G efficiency and the future of 6G. The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, on the other hand, is pushing for open access to the spectrum. The outcome will affect consumers and businesses relying on wireless technologies.
