In this blog post, we discuss the FCC’s recent conditional approval of standard power access points and incumbent point-to-point microwave systems to share spectrum in the 5GHz band, and what it means for network operators. We explain how automated frequency coordination (AFC) will be integrated into a SAS platform to ensure connected devices utilize frequency channels that provide maximum performance, and how this will help providers deliver faster, more reliable internet speeds to their customers. We also provide details on how operators can get started with standard power access points and experimental licenses, as well as what’s next for the 6GHz band, including the upcoming opening of the UNII-5 and UNII-7 bands for outdoor wireless broadband applications.
