Telcos ask DoT to enable standard power outdoor use in lower 6 GHz band
NEW DELHI: India’s top telecom operators have urged the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to expeditiously notify rule amendments to enable standard power operations in the lower 6 GHz band, paving the way for seamless last-mile connectivity in rural and semi-urban areas through fixed broadband and other means.
The expert committee constituted by DoT, led by Professor Radha Krishna Ganti, IIT Madras, had recommended enabling higher-power outdoor use at 36 dBm in the 5925–6425 MHz band, a recommendation that the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said must be “implemented without further delay”.
