Nigerian Communications Commission plans to open 6GHz band for Wi-Fi use to address high-speed internet demands.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) plans to open the 6GHz frequency band for unlicensed Wi-Fi use to address increasing demands for high-speed internet. This move aims to alleviate congestion on the existing 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands, providing two to three times more spectrum for applications like Wi-Fi 6. However, operators seek federal support for infrastructure upgrades to fully leverage this new spectrum and expand broadband access, particularly in underserved areas.
