Hi Jay and all,
On March 10, Australia ACMA has published the outcome of its consultation "•Radio local area networks (RLANs) in the 6 GHz band - consultation 37/2021".
In summary,
ACMA allows RLAN devices in the lower band.
1) The power limits of low power indoor devices and very low power devices are broadly aligned with those adopted in Europe and the UK.
2) ‘indoor’ does not include inside vehicles.
3) Contained a requirement that devices must implement contention-based protocols for multiple access, e.g., CSMA or MACA
.ACMA did not make decisions on the following topics .
a) Possible updates to the use of the 5 GHz band related to higher power limits and outdoor use,
b) Higher power devices in the 6 GHz band,
c) The future use of the upper 6 GHz band (6425~7125 MHz),
d) The potential of AFC.
