On October 21, 2024, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) of Vietnam issued a public consultation on the proposed revision of Circular No. 08/2021/TT-BTTTTT. The Circular updates the specification for license-exempt radio equipment, and the proposed amendments will add the 5925 – 6425 MHz band to wireless local area networks (WLAN/RLAN).

The proposed revisions also outline power and spurious emission limits for Wi-Fi indoor and outdoor use in the band 5925 – 6425 MHz to prevent interference with existing licensed systems. The power limit for indoor use is 200 mW EIRP, while the power limit for outdoor use is 25 mW EIRP. These restrictions are often used in other countries to protect existing systems.
