Trump prepares to free up lower 7 GHz band to support US 6G spectrum push
US President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies using the 7.125-7.4 GHz frequency band to draw up a plan to move their services elsewhere. The goal is to clear this slice of spectrum so it can support future 6G mobile networks in the US.
The instruction requires current federal users to deliver a relocation roadmap, a first step in opening the band for commercial use. The move fits into a broader push to secure mid-band spectrum for next-generation wireless services, though specific timelines, costs, and which agencies will move are not detailed in the available information.
