T-Mobile plans to test Nokia equipment in the 7GHz band to 'support the advancement of potential future wireless technologies.' That's likely a nod to forthcoming 6G technologies.
The FCC granted a request by T-Mobile to test "experimental prototype wireless equipment" from Nokia in and around T-Mobile's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. The Nokia equipment runs in the 7125-7525 MHz band, and T-Mobile said the tests would "support the advancement of potential future wireless technologies."
That's the same band that Nokia is using to test its 6G equipment at its Dallas headquarters.
Moreover, US officials and wireless network equipment vendors have identified the 7GHz and 8GHz bands as ground zero for new 6G networks.
