FCC Approves Expanded Unlicensed Use of 6GHz Band

The FCC has approved expanded unlicensed use of the 6GHz band, opening the door for new high‑power geofenced variable power (GVP) devices. The ruling supports next‑generation Wi‑Fi performance, AR/VR applications, automation, and short‑range hotspots while protecting licensed services from interference.

FCC Expected to Expand Unlicensed Use of 6GHz Band

The FCC is creating a new device category that will supercharge Wi-Fi and unlock outdoor AR/VR applications. Geofenced variable power devices operate at higher power levels in the 6GHz band—overcoming current limitations and enabling next-generation wireless innovation.
