The year 2020 will certainly go down in history as a remarkable one for Wi-Fi, as the industry is being awarded massive increases in spectrum.
On April 23, the U.S. FCC voted to make available 1,200 megahertz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi. This is a very big deal, as the amount of spectrum available to Wi-Fi will increase from approximately 400 megahertz, the most significant increase in over 20 years. We expect Europe to follow, as the European Commission evaluates releasing 500 megahertz of the 6 GHz spectrum to Wi-Fi.
