WifiForward Statement on FCC’s Adoption of AFC Authorization Process

The FCC took an important step forward towards realizing Standard Power Wi-Fi 6E. Implementation of smart AFCs in the 6 GHz band will unlock an untold number of use cases for the next generation of Wi-Fi — from faster stadium connectivity to lower latency Wi-Fi on school buses. Spectrum is a limited resource, so quickly certifying and deploying innovative spectrum-sharing technology like AFC is essential to our wireless future. We applaud the Commission for its forward-looking approach to spectrum policy.
