WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) is pleased to announce that Forum member C3 Spectra has been approved by the FCC as an Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) System Operator in the 6 GHz band. The approval was announced in a recent FCC public notice.

"Our AFC system ensures businesses can harness this spectrum without risking interference—whether upgrading a hotel's guest Wi-Fi or supporting mission-critical operations at an airport,” said Zaheer Syed, CEO of C3Spectra. “This isn't just about compliance; it's about unlocking innovation."

AFC Systems manage spectrum access for 6 GHz band standard power unlicensed devices. WInnForum and Wi-Fi Alliance created standards and test vectors for AFC Systems operating in the 6 GHz band. AFC Systems now make spectrum available for standard power unlicensed use in 850 MHz of the 5.925-7.125 GHz (6 GHz) band, while ensuring that incumbent licensed services are able to operate in the band without harmful interference caused by the AFC-authorized unlicensed devices.

"WInnForum welcomes C3Spectra as a new FCC-certified AFC System provider,” said Richard Bernhardt, Chair of the Wireless Innovation Forum. “C3Spectra adds an additional choice for operators in the 6 GHz band. An experienced participant in standards development at the WInnForum, for both CBRS and the 6 GHz band, C3Spectra is a welcome addition."
