UK regulator Ofcom has announced changes to free up more spectrum for wireless Wi-Fi services, following a consultation earlier in 2020.
Ofcom will make airwaves in the lower 6 GHz band available for Wi-Fi services without the need for a licence. This is designed to support new services such as VR headsets and smart glasses, which use Wi-Fi to connect to other devices. Ofcom is also updating technical requirements for Wi-Fi routers to ease congestion in wireless networks.
