On March 21st, 2021, The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) published a public consultation on its website related to the Wireless Local Area Network (Wi-Fi 6) and CRA’s proposed policy for assigning the full frequency band (5925 – 7125 MHz) to this network with an aim of receiving views and comments from the local and international stakeholders and interested parties about CRA’s proposed decision. This technology will enable consumers in Qatar to connect more devices to the Wi-Fi with high-speed internet connectivity, which includes laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and smart TV. Also, Wi-Fi 6 will enable different Internet of Things (IoT) applications and support innovative applications such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Ultra High Definition video (Ultra HD).
Stakeholders and interested parties can email their views and comments about the public consultation to type.approval@cra.gov.qa, before Thursday, April 8, 2021.
