United States: The FCC has officially published regulations on the use of VLP in the 6 GHz band


Following the announcement by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on October 19, 2023 that the 6 GHz band will be opened for use by very-low power (VLP) devices, on January 8, 2024, the FCC published a rule on the Federal Register website regarding "Unlicensed Applications of the 6 GHz Band and Expanding the Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 24 GHz Band" to promote the update of the requirements in FCC Part 15. The new rules will allow VLP devices to be used in the U–NII–5 (5925–6425 MHz) and U–NII–7 (6525–6875 MHz) frequency bands. The new regulations will come into effect on March 8, 2024. In addition. The FCC is also considering opening up the entire 6GHz band to VLP equipment.
