According to international media reports, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has regained its spectrum auction authority under the framework of the "Big and Beautiful Act" and plans to conduct a commercial auction for the 6.425GHz-7.125GHz frequency band. This move aims to optimize spectrum resource allocation, enhance U.S. global competitiveness in mobile communications, and generate significant economic benefits.

Unique Advantages of 6GHz Spectrum

As a scarce mid-band resource with large bandwidth capacity, the 6GHz spectrum possesses the following distinctive characteristics:

• Combines wide-area coverage with high-capacity transmission potential
• Lower device penetration and reduced interference compared to congested 2.4GHz/5GHz bands
• Delivers more stable and higher-quality network connectivity

Implications for the Wi-Fi Industry

Under the current saturation of 2.4GHz/5GHz bands, the available 6GHz spectrum has been compressed to 5.925GHz-6.525GHz (a nearly 50% reduction), which will directly lead to:

• Reduced theoretical transmission rates for Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 7
• Degraded network performance in high-density user scenarios (e.g., smart homes, IoT)
• Limited functionality for local wireless connectivity applications

Global 6GHz Band Allocation Comparison

Note: Wi-Fi 6E specifically refers to the existing 6GHz frequency band (5925–7125MHz) and must be clearly distinguished from 6G communication technology.

Device Power Classification Standards

• Low Power Indoor (LPI) Devices

• • Max. Power ≤ 30dBm
  • Indoor use only
  • AFC coordination exempt
  • Typical devices: Consumer-grade routers, mobile terminals

• Standard Power (SP) Devices

• • Max. Power ≤ 36dBm
  • Indoor/outdoor deployment permitted
  • Mandatory AFC dynamic frequency avoidance
  • Typical devices: Enterprise APs, industrial IoT equipment

Current State of Technology Applications

The globally available 5925–6425MHz (500MHz) bandwidth can currently support:
• 160MHz channel requirements for Wi-Fi 6E
• 320MHz ultra-wide channel demands for Wi-Fi 7

Leveraging Qualcomm's technology platform, QOGRISYS has successfully developed:

1. Wi-Fi 6E modules (O2066 Series)
2. Next-generation Wi-Fi 7 modules (O7851PM)

Extensive terminal testing confirms these high-performance modules have been widely deployed in:VR/AR systems, Industrial control systems,3D scanning equipment, Wireless storage devices, Professional signal detection instruments.
With the commencement of Wi-Fi 7 module mass production, the product line will expand to: smart TVs,set-top boxes and other consumer electronics to deliver cost-optimized connectivity solutions with superior performance.
