  • 2024-29053 — Open Commission Meeting Wednesday, December 11, 2024
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 99866
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is holding an Open Meeting on December 11, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. in Washington, DC. The meeting is open to the public, but attendees must check in with FCC security as the building is not open access. The meeting will cover several topics, including expanding unlicensed use of the 6 GHz band and updating broadcast rules. It will be streamed live online with available accommodations for people with disabilities. Members of the press are welcome and will have the ability to attend a news conference with the Chairwoman afterward.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of how we use radios and internet are having a big meeting to talk about making more space for things that work without wires, like some devices that use Wi-Fi, and to update rules for radio and TV stations. Some parts of what they plan to discuss are a bit unclear, like some actions they're thinking about and how they help people with special needs at the meeting.

  • 2021-00782 — Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band; Review of the Commission's Rules Governing the 896-901/935-940 MHz Band

    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
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11373
    Reading Time:about 90 minutes

    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.

  • 2021-01404 — Office of Engineering & Technology Seeks Additional Information Regarding Client-to-Client Device Communications in the 6 GHz Band
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 6644
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking additional information about allowing direct communication between unlicensed client devices in the 6 GHz band. Currently, these devices must connect through an access point, but comments are being invited on whether a limited form of device-to-device communication should be permitted. Apple, Broadcom, and others suggest allowing direct communication if the devices can receive a certain signal from a low-power indoor access point. The FCC wants to know how this setup might work without causing interference to licensed services and is considering different technical requirements and safeguards.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC is thinking about letting gadgets talk directly to each other without needing a Wi-Fi station, but they are checking if it might mess up other important signals first.
