But unlike 11/18/23 GHz it can be used for PTP links >10 miles based on rain 
fade characteristics.  And there are many existing links.  Just saying your 
spectrum would be nice for indoor WiFi doesn’t make them go away, and the 
service carried on those existing links is often critical traffic.

Honestly I think that 6ghz licensed is becoming less practical. As more and 
more fiber is run to the tower the 6ghz band would be much more better utilized 
for last mile PTMP and indoor wifi.

So did WISPA make this happen?  Or was it the millions these companies dropped 
that made it happen?

The primary influencers behind the rule change are some small, no-name

They're interested in unlicensed 6GHz for the indoor low power (WiFi6) usage.

 

I'm certain they've dropped millions lobbying for this.

So the question is who can utilize this spectrum?

Two of the UNII  bands are heavily used for licensed PTP and I mean heavily, so 
really if the AFC system works correctly most of the spectrum proposed will 
likely be unuseable outdoor.  I feel like from a reliability standpoint it will 
be tough to count on a system that uses AFC in general.   What about the 
Antenna being used on these APs are they going to be able to cover the entire 
band from 5Ghz to 6Ghz efficiently?  Just thinking...

from Fred Goldstein via the wispa list:

 

"There are really two different types of devices approved today. A Standard 
Power device, allowed +36 dBm EIRP, must communicate daily with an AFC that 
determines what frequencies are available at its location. It must have 
geolocation. (We are waiting to see the final Order to see how the "client AP" 
is handled.) The rules for the AFC are reasonably conservative, so the licensed 
PtP users are generally pretty happy with it. And a whole bunch of companies 
have already been working on AFCs.


The Low Power Indoor device, on the other hand, does not require AFC. It is 
limited to indoor use only (must have mains power, may not be weatherproof, 
must be labeled) and is allowed +30 dBm EIRP (clients +24 dBm). Since those can 
use any frequency, the incumbents are a wee bit concerned. But between building 
entry losses (pretty high at 6 GHz) and the directionality of the FS dishes, 
harmful interference is unlikely. That is likely to be a volume market for 
Wi-Fi 6e. The higher-end business stuff, and ours, will be standard power.

The FNPRM asks about Very Low Power outdoor operation without AFC. Like cell 
phones and small hotspots. It also asks about higher power for AFC-controlled 
devices."

any idea what Eirp they approved for fixed wireless?
