On January 9, 2026, the UK Communications Authority (Ofcom) launched a public consultation to discuss the enabling of the Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) system in the 5925-7125 MHz (6 GHz) band. Ofcom published a public consultation paper on February 13, 2025 for the entire 6 GHz band, proposing the introduction of AFC-controlled standard power Wi-Fi (up to 36 dBm) on the lower 6 GHz, including outdoor use. This new public consultation has confirmed the use of AFC systems in the 5925MHz-6425MHz bands and allows for standard power Wi-Fi devices and allows outdoor use.
