FCC details plan to supercharge Wi-Fi
US regulators are moving ahead with a plan to push more performance out of Wi-Fi in the 6GHz band. The Federal Communications Commission has outlined how a new class of higher-powered "GVP" devices could operate in that spectrum.
The proposal relies on "exclusion zones" designed to prevent those stronger Wi-Fi signals from interfering with existing users in the band, such as fixed microwave links. The FCC’s latest details focus on how to balance faster, more robust Wi-Fi against the need to protect current services that share the same airwaves.
