Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Takes Next Step to Enable Faster, Better Wi-Fi

Excerpt:  “The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology today conditionally approved thirteen proposed automated frequency coordination (AFC) database systems to finalize development for operations in the 6 GHz band and prepare for the testing phase. These automated frequency coordination (AFC) systems manage spectrum access for 6 GHz band standard-power unlicensed devices. ‘American businesses and households rely on Wi-Fi for work, school, access to healthcare, and connecting with friends and family,’ said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. ‘We are moving forward on our plan to open doors for next generation, faster, better Wi-Fi – including Wi-Fi 6E and laying the groundwork for Wi-Fi 7. This is good news and real progress.'”
