The GSMA and Connect Europe, representing the European mobile industry, welcome
the opportunity to comment on the Draft RSPG Opinion on a 6G spectrum roadmap.
The publication of an EU-level spectrum roadmap marks an important and timely
milestone in setting out Europe’s approach to 6G. Early guidance on potential future 6G
bands, including the upper 6 GHz range, 7-8 GHz, and sub-700 MHz, allows operators to
plan investments, support ecosystem development, and engage in international
harmonisation discussions. Upper 6 GHz could be considered as the ‘6G capacity band’
and sub-700 MHz as the ‘6G coverage band’. This roadmap will help shape global 6G
developments and strengthen Europe’s digital leadership and economic
competitiveness.
