Delicensing lower 6GHz for Wi-Fi a ‘necessity’, industry should produce affordable devices: Jyotiraditya Scindia

NEW DELHI: Terming the Central government’s decision to delicense the lower 6GHz band was a “necessity”, Union Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia Tuesday said this will boost innovation across industries and help drive entrepreneurial opportunities across India.

‘We have now delicensed and awarded the lower portion of the 6GHz spectrum, which is not a luxury today, it is a necessity. And that will give our industry multi-gigabit speeds, ultra-low latency, low-cost digital highways that will spawn multiple businesses and opportunities,’ Scindia said at a Wi-Fi event organised by the Broadband India Forum (BIF).
