The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted more flexible rules for the 60 GHz spectrum band to boost radar technology applications. The new regulations will allow unlicensed radar devices to operate without affecting other users.
The FCC also approved a proposal to partially open the 12 GHz band for wireless services, preserving the 12.2-12.7 GHz segment for existing satellite services. The upper range (12.7-13.25 GHz) will potentially be available for terrestrial wireless use, such as 6G.
