Argentina Announces Free Spectrum for Wifi 6 Technology

Published /Argentina

Spectrum Allocation for Wifi 6 Technology

The Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, participated this Tuesday in the presentation of the allocation of the spectrum band for the use and development of Wifi 6 technology.

The president of the National Communications Entity (Enacom), Claudio Ambrosini, was also present as the state body is in charge of regulating this provision.

With Wifi 6, the spectrum is enabled in the range from 5925 to 7125 MHz (which would be a 6G) and will be available for free use (without a license) by the provider companies.

"The complete 6 GHz band can coexist with the existing fixed link services, which allows maximizing the use of a national resource of all Argentines such as the spectrum," they explained from the government.

During the event, Massa highlighted the beneficial impact it will have for SMEs and also pointed out that, in the next 10 years, it will mean "an increase in gross product of 62 billion dollars."

It is expected that this technology will make it possible to extend the connectivity offer of SMEs and cooperatives so that they reach each school, each hospital, each community, to the villas and popular neighborhoods in urban, suburban and remote areas. With that type of expansion, many new opportunities will become visible in the telecom industry.
