FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel Proposes Expanding 6 GHz Band Operations for Very Low Power Devices
WASHINGTON, October 4, 2024—FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel today proposed new rules to expand very low-power device operations in additional spectrum in the 6 GHz band alongside other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. The FCC has, in recent years, expanded unlicensed use between 5.925 and 7.125 GHz, helping to usher in Wi-Fi 6E, set the stage for Wi-Fi 7, and support the growth of the Internet of Things.

FCC Updates on Wireless Microphone Operations
Wireless Microphones in the TV Bands, 600 MHz Guard Band, 600 MHz Duplex Gap, and the 941.5–944 MHz, 944–952 MHz, 952.850–956.250 MHz, 956.45–959.85 MHz, 1435–1525 MHz, 6875–6900 MHz and 7100–7125 MHz Bands, 83789–83800 [2024–23959] [PDF]
SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) revises the technical rules for low-power auxiliary station (LPAS) devices to permit a recently developed type of wireless microphone system, termed herein as a Wireless Multichannel Audio System (WMAS), to operate in the broadcast television (TV) bands and other LPAS frequency bands on a licensed basis. The Commission adopts technical rules for licensed WMAS operations in specific frequency bands under our LPAS rules and also permits WMAS to operate on an unlicensed basis under the rules in the TV bands and 600 MHz
duplex gap. The Commission updates its existing LPAS and technical rules for wireless microphones, which already rely on certain European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards, to incorporate the latest version of that standard where appropriate. Finally, the Commission updates the wireless microphone rules to reflect the end of the post-Incentive Auction transition period. The Commission’s goal in the FCC document is to increase wireless microphone spectral efficiency and enable more intensive use in the spectrum available for such operations.
DATES: This rule is effective November 18, 2024.

FCC Opens 15-Business Day Window for Cybersecurity Labeling Administrator Applications
15-Business Day Filing Window for Cybersecurity Labeling Administrator and Lead Administrator Applications, 84086–84096 [2024–23844] [PDF]
SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) announces a 15-business day filing window for applications from entities seeking designation as a Cybersecurity Labeling Administrator (CLA) and Lead Administrator and also adopt additional requirements for CLA and Lead Administrator applications as well as responsibilities that must be met by the selected Lead Administrator and CLAs. These requirements will provide additional guidance to administrator applicants and further implements the Commission’s IoT labeling program.
DATES: Effective date: November 20, 2024, except for amendment 3 (47 CFR 8.220(f)(14)) which is delayed indefinitely until the Office of Management and Budget has completed review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing that effective date. Comments due date: Written comments on the Paperwork Reduction Act information collection requirements must be submitted by the public, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and other interested parties on or before December 20, 2024.

ISED Expands Recognition: Partial Scopes for Testing Labs and New Accreditation for Certification Bodies
ISED Recognition of Partial Scopes and Expansion of Accreditation Scopes Recognition of Partial Scopes for Testing Laboratories
Under the Decisions on New Requirements for Wireless Device Testing Laboratories policy, ISED permits testing laboratories to submit requests for the recognition of partial scopes which are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Given the similarity of requests, the department is formally publishing all acceptable partial scopes on the Testing Laboratory Scope of Recognition – Mutual Recognition Agreements/Arrangements (canada.ca) webpage. For partial scopes not published, testing laboratories must continue to submit a request for ISED to consider recognition for part of a technical standard by using the General Inquiry form.
Expansion of Accreditation Scopes for Certification Bodies
In addition, ISED has expanded its Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Equipment Scopes of Accreditation for Certification Bodies to create a new Radio Scope 8 to cover devices operating in frequency bands above 95 GHz. After consulting, Certification bodies (CBs) confirmed that not all in-house or subcontracted testing laboratories affiliated with CBs, have the appropriate equipment nor see a valid business case for making the necessary upgrades. Consequently, ISED now exclusively lists RSS-295 License-Exempt Radio Apparatus Operating in the Frequency Bands 116-123 GHz, 174.8-182 GHz, 185-190 GHz, and 2414-246 GHz under this new radio scope.
ISED准许测试实验室提交部分范围的认可要求；扩大认证机构的认可范围
ISED Published RSS-248 Issue 3
Radio Standards Specification RSS-248, issue 3, Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) Devices Operating in the 5925-7125 MHz Band, sets out the certification requirements for license-exempt RLAN devices operating in the 5925-7125 MHz frequency band and replaces RSS-248, issue 2, dated December 20, 2022.
The following are the main changes:
- added new equipment class: very low-power devices
- added definitions, power limits, and operational requirements for the new equipment class
- made editorial changes and clarifications, as appropriate
