Federated Wireless and Cisco Validate Standard Power Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 for Commercial Use in North America
Arlington, VA – Sept 16 – Federated Wireless and Cisco have successfully validated and deployed Standard Power Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 in enterprise environments across the U.S. and Canada. Enabled by Federated Wireless’s Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) service and Cisco’s advanced wireless infrastructure, these deployments demonstrate Wi-Fi 6E’s readiness for enterprise use and provide a blueprint for organizations preparing for Wi-Fi 7.
Enterprises and venues have historically struggled to deliver reliable, high-capacity wireless connectivity in outdoor and high-ceiling environments—such as college campuses and stadiums—due to spectrum congestion and limitations on 6 GHz Wi-Fi deployment. Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) certifications from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) allow enterprises to access the 6 GHz spectrum at Standard Power indoors, outdoors and with external antennas without interfering with incumbents in the 6 GHz band.
