CTA Wants FCC Action Opening 6 GHz Band

With CES next week, CTA urged the FCC Thursday to open the 6 GHz band for sharing with Wi-Fi and other unlicensed devices. Amid moving to 5G, "demand for connected devices, higher-speed applications, and more data-intensive services" continues growing, CTA said in docket 18-295. “Consumers increasingly rely on devices that run on unlicensed spectrum.” Chairman Ajit Pai is expected to circulate a 6 GHz item, most likely for the March commissioners’ meeting (see 1912310039).
