ANE (National Spectrum Agency of Colombia) director, Miguel Felipe Anzola, spoke with Convergencialatina about the priorities of the Action Plan 2021, which includes the management of spectrum of the 6 GHz band. The conclusions of the consultation on Wifi 6 will be available in the coming weeks. "Together with the MinTIC we seek to modernize procedures for spectrum management, which is increasingly in demand," he said.

The public consultation on the use of the 5925-7125 MHz frequency bands, the conclusions of which will be published in the coming weeks, was prepared by the ANE and raises the free use of the 5925-7125 MHz band based on two aspects: the development technology of unlicensed standards (Wi-Fi in particular) and the economic and social development that involves the use of license-exempt frequencies. This implies maintaining the currently allocated services (Fixed, Fixed by Satellite and Mobile). Currently, in Colombia Wi-Fi operates in medium bands; in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

Nokia: The AI supercycle and the new paradigm for global network traffic toward 2034

The Finnish vendor expects global WAN traffic to grow exponentially, driven largely by direct AI-generated traffic. This will substantially reshape optical, IP and transport networks by creating sustained demand for high-capacity connectivity to and between data centers, affecting everything from the metropolitan edge to the regional core.

Direct-to-Device enters commercial phase

As the geostationary satellite business consolidates, low Earth orbit constellations continue to scale up, while the Direct-to-Device (D2D) market enters a phase of commercial deployment and regulatory exploration by authorities worldwide. This landscape was highlighted at the Satellite Map Day 2026 event, organized by Convergencialatina last June, and in the 29th edition of the Satellite Map in Latin America.
