USA - FCC Opens Entire 6 GHz Band To Very Low Power Device Operations

​The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted new rules allowing very low power (VLP) device operations across the entire 1,200 megahertz spectrum of the 6 GHz band.

This expansion will support a broad range of unlicensed and Wi-Fi-enabled devices, fostering innovative applications such as wearable technologies, augmented and virtual reality, and other high-data-rate uses.

Bands and Spectrum: VLP devices can now operate in the U-NII-6 (6.425-6.525 GHz) and U-NII-8 (6.875-7.125 GHz) bands, in addition to the previously allowed U-NII-5 (5.925-6.425 GHz) and U-NII-7 (6.525-6.875 GHz) bands.
