"Today, we build on that foundation and offer more flexibility to support future innovations in the six gigahertz band, everything from compelling AR VR applications to short range, hot spots and much more, our consumers, our economy and our innovators will all be better off for today's decision,"
"This next generation of Wi-Fi will offer blazing fast speeds, massive capacity, and better power efficiency. This is a big deal,"
"Our decision today sends a message beyond our borders about the United States commitment to next generation Wi Fi operations, and we hope to set an example for the world,"
The Federal Communications Commission unanimously authorized a new class of higher-power unlicensed devices in the 6 GHz band using Geofenced Variable Power (GVP) technology. Next-generation devices will use GPS to detect nearby transmissions and dynamically adjust power levels to avoid interference. The order builds on the prior opening of 1,200 MHz in the band and aims to support Wi‑Fi 8 capabilities such as faster speeds, greater capacity, and improved power efficiency for AR/VR, short-range hotspots, and other applications. The Commission also issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to refine indoor signal measurement rules and permit 6 GHz access points on cruise ships.
