ACMA Consults AFC for 6 GHz Wi-Fi

On November 5, 2025, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has opened a public discussion on implementing an Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) system for Wi-Fi 6 GHz band.

This move aims to unlock higher Wi-Fi performance by permitting power levels greater than currently allowed. Key points are as below:

·         Licensing and Authorisation: Potential frameworks for the system.

·         Technical Considerations: System operation and engineering.

·         Impact Assessment: Benefits and risks for both users and existing services (incumbents).

·         Planning: Geographic and frequency arrangements.

The public may submit their opinion to the ACMA by January 30, 2026.
