en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nokia has initiated the development of 6 GHz band equipment for next-generation mobile communications to address the industry's evolution from 5G Advanced to 6G. The company believes this spectrum will play a critical role in future network evolution.

Although the effective allocation of this band still depends on international regulatory discussions and Brazil's planned spectrum auction in 2028, Hugo Baeta, Nokia's General Manager in Brazil, stated that the company is proactively addressing this trend by developing a ready product portfolio and has completed radio wave propagation studies to evaluate the performance of this frequency in real-world deployment environments.

Baeta explained that as the industry begins discussing candidate bands for 6G, Nokia advocates that the 6 GHz band can be integrated into future mobile networks without significantly expanding existing infrastructure. He noted that this frequency has very favorable characteristics and is quite compatible with the installed base of sites. He also emphasized: "The goal is to enhance shared infrastructure (where software and algorithms operate), not to replace it."

These remarks address one of the main industry concerns regarding the 6 GHz band: network coverage impact. Higher frequency bands typically require greater antenna density, which increases expansion costs. However, Baeta pointed out that the company's research shows the propagation characteristics of this frequency are compatible with existing operator infrastructure, with the aim of enhancing software and algorithms within shared infrastructure rather than replacing it.

Nokia believes the next phase of network evolution involves not only speed improvements but also the integration of native artificial intelligence into system operations. Future mobile networks will use algorithms specifically developed for AI to improve spectrum and energy efficiency. In this context, the 6 GHz band is seen as a key component for expanding network capacity in an environment of agent-based AI, distributed computing, and growing traffic related to digital services.
