Ofcom wishes to boost the use of Wi-Fi in Amateur Radio spectrum at 5725-5850 MHz.<\/p>\n

The Amateur Satellite Service weak-signal downlink band, 5830-5850 MHz, is used by amateur payloads on Deep-Space and Interplanetary spacecraft as well as by satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Increased use of Wi-Fi across these frequencies would obliterate the weak amateur satellite signals.<\/p>\n

Ofcom propose to remove the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements from Wi-Fi channels in 5725-5850 MHz. They also propose to make 5925-6425 MHz available for Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

The consultation closes on March 20, 2020.<\/p>\n
