Chile expands 2.3 GHz spectrum for private networks, signals 3G phase-out and 6G roadmap

Chile's telecom regulator Subtel announced at Summit País Digital an update to technical regulations expanding the 2.300-2.360 MHz band to 60 MHz for private and industrial networks. This move is part of a broader spectrum modernization that aligns with the eventual shutdown of 3G services and preparation for 6G. The regulatory change signals a clear policy direction but lacks specific timelines for 3G sunset or 6G deployment.
