    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved new information collection requirements that allow the use of unlicensed devices in the 6 GHz band and establish new rules for broadband operations in the 900 MHz band. The rules are part of FCC's efforts to expand wireless services and enable broadband deployment. The compliance date for these changes, which will require modifications to existing procedures and forms, is February 19, 2021. These changes aim to promote the efficient use of spectrum and support innovative wireless technologies.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is letting people use special airwaves without a license to help make wireless internet faster and better, and they need to follow some new rules starting February 19, 2021.

  • 2025-02962 — Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band; Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has expanded the use of unlicensed very low power (VLP) devices across the entire 6 GHz band, from 5.925 to 7.125 GHz. These devices are set to operate under specific technical rules designed to prevent interference with licensed services. The expansion aims to enhance applications like augmented and virtual reality by providing more bandwidth for high-speed, low-latency operations. This move is expected to bring significant economic benefits by increasing opportunity and innovation in wireless communication technologies.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC has decided to let small, unlicensed devices use a wider part of the 6 GHz radio band, which is like opening up more lanes on a highway for special, fast cars that don't need a license. This will help cool tech like virtual reality work faster, but some people are worried it might cause radio traffic jams with other users who already have permission to be there.
