6 GHz in Europe: Mobile evolution in 6.425-7.125 GHz

Europe’s future economic competitiveness will need fast,
secure, and reliable connectivity, with 6G poised to play
a central role. As spectrum demand intensifies, the full
availability of the upper 6 GHz band (6.425–7.125 GHz)
for mobile networks will support the rollout of next generation 6G services.

Mobile networks are projected to contribute 8.4% of
global GDP by 2030, yet without access to the upper
6 GHz band, this potential economic benefit may not
be realised. The upper 6 GHz band’s full availability is
crucial for meeting 6G connectivity needs and sustaining
Europe’s digital and economic leadership.
