In April 2020, U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made a pivotal move by freeing up 1200 MHz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use. Fast forward to February 23, 2024, this initiative bore fruit when the FCC green-lit seven automated systems to manage frequencies in this band, marking the beginning of high-power Wi-Fi in the 6 GHz range. This development is poised to revolutionize the wireless ecosystem by significantly enhancing high-speed internet connectivity and pushing the envelope in wireless technology.
The allocation of the 6 GHz spectrum is anticipated to positively impact 2.3 billion people across nations that account for 70% of the world’s GDP. In the realm of immersive technologies like AR, VR, and extended reality, a substantial adoption leap is expected. By 2025, it’s predicted that 96% of Wi-Fi-enabled immersive tech devices will be equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 6E or 7 standards, signifying a major upgrade in wireless communication capabilities.
