Nokia Urges Changes to 6 GHz Rules

Increase power levels for 6 GHz devices while requiring standard-power access points (AP) operating with effective isotropic radiated power higher than 36 dBm to “have the capability to cease transmission immediately upon notification” of interference, Nokia asked FCC Office of Engineering Technology staff, said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 18-295. In practice, the higher-power links could operate successfully to maximize the benefits of unlicensed operations in the band while addressing concerns regarding causing harmful interference to fixed service (FS) incumbents,” the filing said. “Various use cases could leverage the higher power APs.”
