In this episode, we welcome Alex Roytblat, Vice President, Worldwide Regulatory Affairs at Wi-Fi Alliance, to The Signal to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the FCC's landmark decision to open the 6 GHz band to Wi-Fi. Alex explains that this was the most significant expansion of spectrum for Wi-Fi in decades, which effectively doubled the spectrum for Wi-Fi in U.S., and ushered in the development of a world of new technology, including Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7. We talk about how 6 GHz has opened the doors to innovation, including telemedicine, extended reality, and industrial manufacturing, and we learn how spectrum policy will evolve to support future Wi-Fi generations. Tune in to learn more as we celebrate the historic decision that brought Wi-Fi into a new era.
