::In a petition to the US FCC, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, HP, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, and Marvell asked for approval of a new Very Low Power Wi-Fi category that would allow unrestricted use of the 6GHz spectrum for short point-to-point connections. The letter suggested connections of 2Gbps at 3 meters. This would allow for a smartphone to provide a high speed tether to things like AR glasses or in-vehicle entertainment. The letter argues that this new category is needed to let devices take advantage of 5G. In October of 2018, the FCC proposed rules to open up the 6 GHz band to unlicensed devices, but these have not gone into effect.
