Canada: ISED updated 802.11ax and 802.11be testing


Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) clarified at the TCBC workshop that ISED considers 802.11ax and 802.11be to be two different technologies and therefore need to be evaluated separately. TCBC members provided data to ISED to support the similarity of 802.11ax and 802.11be. After reviewing the data, the ISED stated that the full RU test of 802.11be was accepted as a proxy for 802.11ax with the same power meter, but any special RU configurations would need to be evaluated separately. TCBC sent a letter to TCBC members on November 13, 2024 to make the above statement.
