Early results on using 7 GHz for 6G indoor coverage not ‘encouraging’, says Verizon CTO: Report

NEW DELHI: Verizon CTO Yago Tenorio stated that initial field test results for using the 7GHz band for 6G were “not super encouraging” for indoor coverage, according to a Light Reading report on Monday.

Speaking at the Brooklyn AI-Native 6G Summit last week, Tenorio said that “7GHz versus 3.5GHz, not surprisingly, has some challenges in penetrating buildings”, according to the report.

Verizon and Ericsson conducted the first 6G call in the field last month.
