DSA Condemns Anatel Brazil's Reversal on Unlicensed Access to the Upper 6 GHz Band, Citing Impact on Connectivity and Innovation
The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) strongly objects to Anatel Brazil's recent reversal of the 2021 decision that allowed unlicensed access to the 6 GHz (5925 - 7125 MHz) band. Anatel's decision favors a few large mobile providers over the connectivity needs of millions of Brazilians supported by over 20,000 wireless internet service providers. It raises questions about the future of millions of Wi-Fi devices already in use by schools, hospitals, and government agencies, and undermines the potential economic growth and technological innovation that was the basis for the 2021 decision. The DSA is committed to policies that ensure efficient spectrum use. We urge Anatel to reconsider its decision given its potential harm to Brazil's digital future and economic development.
