The case for
licence-exempt
6 GHz spectrum

As final preparations are made towards decision making on the upper 6 GHz band (6425-7125 MHz) at the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23) in Dubai, this website provides resources that support the case for opening the full 6 GHz band for licence-exempt use while protecting incumbent fixed satellite and fixed services and allowing them to continue and even extend their operation without restriction.
