IFETEL officially published the regulation which classifies the frequency band 5925MHz-6425MHz as unlicensed band on the Official Gazette of the Mexican Federation on March 7, 2023.

The regulation establishes technical operating conditions of the frequency band 5925-6425 MHz and is enforced since the publishing date.

∙ The identification of unlicensed band for the 5925MHz-6425MHz segment, which is a part of the internationally known band for 6GHz, will allow its use by the general public without license or authorization by the Institute.

∙ The 500MHz of spectrum at the low end of the 6GHz band will allow to offer new services with the technology known as WiFi-6E in Mexico.

∙ With the allocation of this segment, the amount of spectrum will double for the provision of Wi-Fi services in the country, adding to that of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands that are already used by these systems.

∙ With this classification, the short and medium term demand can be met for unlicensed band for communications with Wi-Fi technology as well as other technologies that occupy that type of spectrum.

It is important to highlight that within the operating conditions of this unlicensed band, its use was determined for indoor low power systems and indoor as well as outdoor very low power systems.
