On October 23, 2026, the UK Communications Authority (Ofcom) released version 1.17 of the UK Interface Requirements 2030 (IR 2030), making significant updates to the UK's Wi-Fi spectrum regulations. This revision expands the authorized frequency range for "Wireless Access Systems and Wireless Local Area Networks" (WAS/RLAN) from 5925–6425 MHz to 5925–6585 MHz, providing an additional 160 MHz of spectrum resources for Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, and similar wireless systems. Operating conditions remain unchanged: This expansion continues to use existing "Low Power Indoor" (LPI) and "Very Low Power" (VLP) operating requirements. While expanding spectrum availability, this revision does not introduce a separate operating power framework for the new frequencies
