A group of tech companies that includes giants like Apple, Facebook, Google, Qualcomm and others, petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a new, ‘Very Low Power’ (VLP) category of portable devices for use in the unlicensed 6 GHz band.
The group submitted a letter to the FCC titled, “The FCC can Accelerate 5G Services while Protecting Incumbent Operations by Enabling Very Low Power Portable Class Devices in 6 GHz” that argues that the proposed use for the 6 GHz band would make possible new types of short-range connectivity for VLP devices.
