Investing.com -- Shares of Nokia (HE:NOKIA) Corporation (NYSE: NOK) climbed 3.6% following reports from Lightreading that T-Mobile is conducting tests with Nokia's 6G technology. The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC (BME:FCC)) has approved T-Mobile's request to test Nokia's experimental wireless equipment in Bellevue, Washington. This move comes amid speculation about T-Mobile's future collaboration with Nokia, especially considering other carriers have distanced themselves from the equipment provider.
The testing involves equipment operating in the 7125-7525 MHz frequency band, which is also being used by Nokia to test its 6G equipment at its Dallas headquarters. The 7GHz and 8GHz bands have been identified as critical for the development of 6G networks, with the potential to provide significantly increased capacity and higher data rates.
T-Mobile's FCC filing indicates that the testing will cover two fixed basestations and up to five mobile devices. Despite not mentioning 6G specifically, the purpose of the tests is to explore future spectrum options and advance wireless technology without causing harmful interference.
Nokia has submitted a similar request for its Dallas headquarters, emphasizing the development of 6G technology. The company's research focuses on band segmentation, frequency sharing mechanisms, and beamforming technologies, among others.
The collaboration between T-Mobile and Nokia on 6G research and development appears to be a positive indicator for Nokia's role as a wireless equipment supplier. This development is particularly noteworthy in light of the industry's efforts to establish a more user-centric approach to 6G, focusing on consistent coverage, battery life, latency, and security rather than just peak data rates.
