6GHzWiFi is about to get a boost.
The FCC has published guidance on how to certify standard power devices in the 6GHz band.
With Standard Power WiFi operating under the control of an AFC, users get the flexibility and power allowed in the 5 GHz band.
Broadcom predict that this accelerates adoption of WiFi6E and WiFi7.
