The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology approved seven applications for automated frequency coordination systems to operate in the 6 GHz band under the FCC’s rules for unlicensed operations.
Approved applications were from: Qualcomm, Federated Wireless, Sony, Comsearch, the WiFi Alliance, the Wireless Broadband Alliance, and Broadcom. These systems can now move forward in managing access to this spectrum by WiFi devices.
“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. “6 GHz standard power and fixed client device deployments under AFC control will expand access to new technology, applications and services.”
