China Allocated First 6GHz Frequency Band for 5G and 6G

China allocated spectrum in the 6GHz frequency band for 5G and 6G services. The government said it is the first country to reserve the resource expected by the mobile industry to enable future connectivity.

The country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) highlighted the band was the only one with sufficiently large bandwidth in the mid-range. MIIT explained allocating 6GHz at this time is conducive to stabilizing the expectations of the 5G/6G industry.

It also expects its move to promote the global or regional division of 5G/6G spectrum resources and provide the groundwork to promote mobile communications and industrial developments at home. The decree reserving the allocation, which it claims as a world first, comes into force next week.
