Wi-Fi 6E gear can take advantage of the 6GHz band, but there are incumbent entities that also have a stake in the spectrum. To prevent interference, the Automated Frequency Coordination database coordinates among licensed and unlicensed users. On today’s Tech Bytes podcast, sponsored by Aruba, we’ll hear about Aruba’s participation in the first public demonstration of Wi-Fi 6E and the AFC database. My guest is Dave Wright, Head of Global Wireless Policy at Aruba.
