Today, the FCC took another crucial step forward in making the economic and innovative potential of Wi-Fi 6E a reality, while laying the groundwork for Wi-Fi 7. This public notice on automated frequency coordination (AFC) testing and public trials in the 6 GHz band is the next major milestone, ensuring that Wi-Fi 6E devices will soon be able to take advantage of even greater utilization of this band. The 6 GHz band and the implementation of AFCs will unleash innumerable new use cases for the next generation of Wi-Fi. As we search for ways to share our crowded airwaves, database technologies like AFCs can play an essential role. WifiForward is pleased to see the FCC moving this process forward.
We’re excited to see the @FCC moving #6GHz forward with this Public Notice. The economic & innovative potential of #WiFi6/#WiFi6E is now a reality and a path to #WiFi7 🙌 AFCs (automated frequency coordination) will help us share our limited #spectrum! https://t.co/ADjSVcjJAc pic.twitter.com/mumCjwZss6
