FCC Approves Wi-Fi in 6 GHz Band & Expands Wireless Microphone Opportunities
The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology has approved seven applications for automated frequency coordination systems to operate in the 6 GHz band under the FCC’s rules for unlicensed operations. This approval is a significant step towards enabling standard power Wi-Fi to operate in the 6 GHz band. “Automatic Frequency Coordination system operational approvals mark a major milestone for widespread deployment of unlicensed operations in the 6 GHz spectrum band and for the unlicensed ecosystem overall,” said FCC Chief Engineer Ron Repasi.
