The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has officially issued GSR 47(E) for the 6 GHz band (5925–6425 MHz). 

Per this notification, the 6 GHz band has been delicensed for low-power indoor wireless use, allowing faster and more reliable wireless connectivity. 

Devices operating in this band must obtain ETA-SD (Equipment Type Approval – Self Declaration) to comply with WPC regulations. 

This is an important step towards enabling next-generation wireless technologies like Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, offering higher speeds, lower latency, and better user experience.

Technical Specifications for 5925–6425 MHz Band

Operational Restrictions 

• Use on oil platforms is prohibited

• Indoor use is not allowed in moving vehicles, boats, or aircraft (below 10,000 ft) 

• Communication with and control of drones or unmanned aerial systems is prohibited

• Devices operating in the 5925–6425 MHz band must use a contention-based protocol to ensure fair and efficient sharing of spectrum 

Note: Current the WPC portal is not yet updated with these changes. Once the update is completed, applications for the 5925–6425 MHz band can be submitted.
