United States: The FCC issued an amendment to the final rule regarding the use of VLP in the 6 GHz band


On January 8, 2024, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued certification rules for "Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band; and Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz". On February 6, 2024, the FCC issued additional amendments to the rule. The amendment to 15.407(d)(6) states that "all U-NII transmitters must use CBP except for standard power access points and fixed client devices operating in the 5.925-7.125 GHz band". The fixed client device was not previously included in the above description.
