What to Do About the 6GHz Upper Band Split

First up, just to recap here, the six gigahertz bands runs from fifty-nine twenty-five to seventy-one twenty-five megahertz, and you're like, "What? Those are just numbers." Yeah, but if you look at a picture you can see.

It's roughly about twelve hundred megahertz of spectrum.

It's the biggest chunk of spectrum that Wi-Fi's ever been handed.

So when people say six gig, they often mean the whole thing.

But it really has two halves, and those are living different lives from now on.

The lower six gig, roughly five twenty-five to sixty-four twenty-five, and then the upper half which is sixty-four twenty-five up to seventy-one twenty-five.

The lower half is broadly settled for everyone, the Wi-Fi across the US, the UK, the EU, and many other geos in the world.

It's the upper half that's in the fight, and that's the split we're gonna be talking about today.

Because the lower half is already spoken for, the upper half is the last biggest contiguous block of spectrum that both Wi-Fi and the mobile carrier world want.

Both camps make a real case, but there's really only one band.

The lower six gig got resolved earlier and in favor of Wi-Fi in all these regions.

So let's now talk about how this is gonna affect us.
