Rosenworcel Proposes Next Step for 6 GHz Band Use FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed new rules this week to allow very low power devices to operate in the 6 GHz band alongside other WiFi-enabled devices. If adopted at the Commission’s October 19 meeting, the rules will enable cutting-edge applications such as augmented and virtual reality, that will help businesses, enhance learning opportunities, advance healthcare opportunities, and bring new entertainment experiences, according to the FCC. (The Commission told employees and contractors yesterday that, in the event of a government shutdown, it plans to remain open through October 20, using funding other than appropriations.) https://www.activistpost.com/2023/10/fcc-chair-suggests-new-rules-for-6-ghz-band-wi-fi-6-seeks-input-on-ways-to-expand-use-while-protecting-incumbents-from-harmful-interference.html
