Wi-Fi Alliance Meets Carr Aide on 6 GHz Changes

Representatives from the Wi-Fi Alliance spoke with an aide to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr about how to “further unlock the full potential of 6 GHz Wi-Fi,” said a filing posted Thursday in docket 18-295. The alliance discussed the importance of “allowing client-to-client communications under the control of a low-power indoor (LPI) access point” and allowing “higher spectral power density limits for LPI and Very Low Power (VLP) devices,” the filing said. Also discussed were “permitting standard-power access points to operate in motion or with directional antennas” and “alleviating the restriction on VLP devices operating on oil platforms.”
