The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to allocate 600MHz and 6GHz frequency bands to support the development of 6G technology, as announced by the Telecommunications and Digital Regulatory Authority (TDRA). This move is expected to pave the way for the introduction of 6G services between 2025 and 2026.
According to TDRA officials, these frequency bands will facilitate the evolution of mobile telecommunications systems and gradually allow consumers to access 6G features. Sixth-generation technology promises significant advancements, including data speeds reaching the terabit level, latency below one millisecond, and enhanced AI-driven networking capabilities. Majed Al Mesmar, TDRA’s director general, emphasized that these innovations will mark a major leap in mobile connectivity.
