One month ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the first Wi-Fi device for use in the 6 GHz spectrum band (5.925–7.125 GHz), a low-power indoor transmitter from Broadcom. Now, the Wi-Fi Alliance has announced the certification for Wi-Fi 6E, which will, according to the alliance’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Kevin Robinson, will ensure device interoperability and cutting-edge WPA 3 security features.
When the FCC approved the 6 GHz band for unlicensed Wi-Fi operation, it made available an impressive 1,200 megahertz of spectrum.
