The CST team members’ ability to foster collaboration, articulate informed perspectives, and engage constructively with WRC-23 delegates from diverse backgrounds enabled the formulation of a consensus approach. The positive outcomes achieved during the conference will advance Wi-Fi® and other technologies’ ability to deliver connectivity worldwide.

6 GHz Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6

Wi-Fi Alliance® celebrates the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) decisions on the 6.425-7.125 GHz frequency band

Austin, TX and Dubai, UAE – December 14, 2023 – Wi-Fi Alliance® celebrates the WRC-23 decisions on the 6.425-7.125 GHz frequency band (upper-6 GHz). Following four years of technical analysis, policymakers and stakeholders from more than 160 countries gathered at WRC-23 to consider the most responsible and efficient use of the upper 6 GHz radio-frequency spectrum. Wi-Fi Alliance is thrilled that the conference recognized the pivotal role of 6 GHz Wi-Fi® in shaping the future of global connectivity. While deciding to identify the upper 6 GHz spectrum for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) in Europe, Africa and a few other countries, the conference adopted an international treaty provision to explicitly recognize that this spectrum is used by wireless access systems such as Wi-Fi. Importantly, the WRC-23 rejected proposals to expand the upper 6 GHz IMT identification to several other countries or to consider such IMT identifications at the next WRC in 2027.

Wi-Fi Alliance is grateful to all WRC-23 delegates who have dedicated their time, knowledge, and expertise to make this conference a success.
