FCC Proposes Additional Spectrum for Unlicensed Use

Agreeing with a proposal from the Wi-Fi Alliance, the FCC will seek to make available for unlicensed use an additional 255 MHz of spectrum in the 5.470 to 5.725 GHz band. This would increase the spectrum available for use by unlicensed devices in the 5 GHz region by 80%. The FCC also proposed additional technical requirements for devices operating in this spectrum.
