The Indian government has unveiled draft rules to delicense the 6 GHz band for unlicensed indoor use, aiming to boost the Wi-Fi broadband sector with new data-driven applications.
Spanning the 5925 to 6425 MHz range, the proposal eliminates the need for frequency assignments, offering lower power indoor systems a shared, non-exclusive usage.
Industry experts, such as the ITU-APT Foundation of India, praise the move as 'visionary', citing its potential to drive digital inclusion and economic growth by aligning India with over 100 nations already tapping into the 6 GHz band.
