Enacom's Resolution on the 6 GHz Band

The National Communications Entity (Enacom) has published a resolution assigning 100% of the 6 GHz band—specifically the range between 5925 and 7125 MHz—for unlicensed use. Resolution 756/2023 specifies that this allocation is for "exclusive use indoors, both private and for the provision of ICT services," ensuring its application remains local.

In the announcement published in the Official Gazette of the Argentine Republic, an annex detailing the technical characteristics of the wireless access systems was included.

Furthermore, it was emphasized that the technical management of Enacom indicates that the IEEE 802.11ax standard—commercially known as Wi-Fi 6, along with its extension, Wi-Fi 6E—utilizes the frequency band between 5925 MHz and 7125 MHz, often referred to as the "6 GHz band." This decision is based on the fact that this technology supports higher data transfer speeds and accommodates more connected devices with reduced interference and very low latency compared to earlier Wi-Fi technologies.

Due to this, and considering the frequency assignments already granted, it was clarified that "the use of this band is mostly fixed, where a large number of Analog and Digital Multichannel systems (MXA and MXD) and Television Program Transport (TPTV) are throughout the country."
