The Federal Communications Commission holds a meeting to discuss improving wireless coverage using signal boosters and increasing the amount of spectrum available for unlicensed devices in the 5 GHz band. A press conference will follow.
"The Commission will consider a Report and Order to significantly enhance wireless coverage for consumers, while protecting wireless networks from interference by adopting new technical, operational, and registration requirements for signal boosters."
Additionally, they "will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to substantially increase the amount of unlicensed spectrum available to accelerate the growth and expansion of new Wi-Fi technology offering consumers faster speeds and less network congestion at Wi-Fi hot spots."
