The development of new devices and technological infrastructure will drive the use of the 6 GHz in telecommunications this year. Among the highlights is the company Huawei, investing in an ecosystem of equipment that prepares for the use of 6G internet. The brand's prediction is that advances will not be limited to network infrastructure, but also to mobile devices that are compatible.
According to Atilius Rulli, vice president of Public Relations for Latin America and the Caribbean at Huawei, the company is focused on several solutions to serve this new ecosystem and the frequency. Em 2026, two antennas 6 GHz for commercial use and, access and connectivity equipment, such as CPEs and Wi-Fi, will be released, in addition to compatible mobile devices.
“We have two outdoor models, one bigger and one smaller, in addition to an indoor model. We will have global launches from three cell phone manufacturers with devices with 6 GHz in 2026”, stated. The tendency is for device brands to be Chinese, although, no names officially released.
Commercial use depends on track licensing
Even with the mobilization of companies to use the new frequency, commercial use of new devices awaits band licensing. The president of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), Carlos Baigorri, stated that the auction will take place, all that is missing is the definition of the contest criteria. For Rulli, Consolidation of this ecosystem will allow operators to move quickly in adopting the technology as soon as there is regulatory authorization.
“The ecosystem will be robust, from the mobile bandwidth infrastructure to mobile devices, via CPE and Wi-Fi. The frequency of 6 GHz floors o 5G Advanced e floors a winda do 6G”, stated. The next generation of mobile networks is expected to 2030 and will require new spectrum bands to meet today's growth in traffic and connectivity.
