"As an equipment manufacturer, Cambium Networks participates in WInnForum to collaborate with diverse industry voices that are not only enabling, but optimizing 6 GHz spectrum usage. Given the critical and limited nature of spectrum, maximizing its use is essential, and dynamic sharing methods benefit everyone. WInnForum unites various entities, sometimes with differing viewpoints, to align on the best path forward." ~ Matt Mangriotis, Cambium Networks


Wireless Innovation Forum 6 GHz Committee


The Wireless Innovation Forum's 6 GHz Committee (6GHzC)  serves as the leading industry body to study and specify sharing arrangements in spectrum designated for unlicensed operation within all or part of the 6 GHz band (5925-7125 MHz). The Committee provides technical input and standards to inform the FCC’s 6 GHz rulemaking and facilitates the interpretation and implementation of the rulemaking to allow industry and regulators to collaborate on implementation of a common, efficient and well-functioning 6 GHz ecosystem. 

What people are saying about the Forum's impact ...

“We appreciate the work of WInnForum in developing technical standards for the AFC systems. In considering proposed modifications to AFC system operations, we will give great weight to inter-industry consensus reached in organizations such as the WInnForum.”  - FCC (Note 46)

"WInnForum has been critical in the development and advancement of the 6 GHz unlicensed Automated Frequency Coordination framework. WInnForum was instrumental in creating the functional requirements, test specifications, test harnesses and test scripts that have been used for certification of AFC systems by the FCC. The FCC has also relied on WInnForum to accredit test labs for AFC certification testing.” ~ Vardin Amiri, Tarana Wireless
