| 05 February 2021 With the liberation of the 6GHz spectrum potentially providing a boom for the CE industry, the US Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has submitted a letter to comms regulator Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ignore calls to halt the equipment certification process for 6GHz unlicensed devices. In April 2020 US telecoms and broadcast regulator the FCC circulated draft rules permitting unlicensed devices to operate in the 6GHz band. Chairman Ajit Pai proposed to make 1,200MHz of spectrum available for use for unlicensed devices, which would share the spectrum with incumbent licensed services under rules crafted to protect the latter and to support both wireless operation types.
