The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology has announced that it will permit testing for the 6 GHz band automated frequency coordination systems. The AFC systems will manage spectrum access of the 6 GHz band for standard-power access points and fixed client devices to prevent harmful interference. The released Public Notice details the AFC system testing process, which will require both lab testing and a public trial. Once conditionally approved AFC systems have completed the testing process, OET may approve them for full commercial operations.
