The interactions between radio jets and the interstellar medium play a
defining role for the co-evolution of central supermassive black holes and
their host galaxies, but observational constraints on these feedback processes
are still very limited at redshifts $z > 2$. We investigate the radio-loud
quasar PSO J352.4034-15.3373 at $z 6$ at the edge of the Epoch of
Reionization. This quasar is among the most powerful radio emitters and the
first one with direct evidence of extended radio jets ($\sim$1.6 kpc) at these
high redshifts. We analyze NOEMA and ALMA millimeter data targeting the CO
(6-5) and CII far-infrared emission lines, respectively, and the underlying
continuum. The broad $44080$ km s$^-1$ and marginally resolved CII
emission line yields a systemic redshift of $z\!=\!5.832 0.001$.
Additionally, we report a strong 215 MHz radio continuum detection, $887$
mJy, using the GMRT. This measurement significantly improves the constraints at
the low-frequency end of the spectral energy distribution of this quasar. In
contrast to what is typically observed in high-redshift radio-quiet quasars, we
show that cold dust emission alone cannot reproduce the millimeter continuum
measurements. This is evidence that the strong synchrotron emission from the
quasar contributes substantially to the emission even at millimeter
(far-infrared in the rest-frame) wavelengths. This quasar is an ideal system to
probe the effects of radio jets during the formation of a massive galaxy within
the first Gyr of the Universe.
