Dear 802.18 members,
cc 802.11, 802.15, and 802.19 members,
On 26 April 2023, Taiwan Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) began the following two consultations that seek public opinions on the lower 6 GHz and the upper 6 GHz frequency bands, respectively.
Consultation 1)
Draft amendment of “Table of Radio Frequency Allocations of the Republic of ChinaBackground:
Considering that major countries in the world, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, allow part or all of the 6 GHz frequency band for unlicensed low-power wireless information transmission equipment, such as Wi-Fi 6E, the administration proposed to revise Item 3, Article 52 of the Telecommunications Management Law such that 5945 MHz to 6425 MHz is allowed for indoors/outdoors low power wireless information transmission without causing harmful interference to existing authorized communications and without protection from any interference caused by existing authorized communications.
