　Telecom Infra Project (Tip) is an organization that promotes innovation in the telecommunications industry.TIP expands cooperation between Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and Open AFC Software Group, supporting 6GHz (in Europe and America -free bands) global adoption.The purpose of this cooperation is to maximize the merits of 6GHz Wi-Fi.6GHz Wi-Fi is provided by "Wi-Fi 6E" and can be used on "Wi-Fi 7".Wi-Fi 6E is a maximum of 160MHz channel and up to 9.6Gbps (Wi-Fi 5 is 3.The 5Gbps (5Gbps) data transfer rate, especially in an environment where many terminals are connected, are said to improve reliability, reduce delay, and network efficiency.

Opening of 6GHz is required

　According to the WBA, 6GHz can be used is "undoubtedly", and more than 40 countries that do not need a license of 6GHz are more than 40 countries around the world, and "many other countries are working to open this band." 。 WBA supplements that many of these countries recognize the value of "Open AFC". Open AFC's goal is to develop an open source reference implementation of the AFC (automatic frequency adjustment) system. Open AFC allows 6GHz devices that do not require a license to operate outdoors. WBA believes that using 6GHz Wi-Fi in the AFC system can enjoy the benefits of public Wi-Fi by "WBA Openroaming". For example, it is possible to manage privacy and security and seamlessly onboarding. Translation: For WBA Openroaming, see "WBA Openroaming aiming for safe interconnection of Wi-Fi". WBA Openroaming is a standard formulated by WBA and Wi-Fi Alliance to fill the gap between mobile phone lines and Wi-Fi, providing seamless connections between guest Wi-Fi networks and public Wi-Fi spots. do. Combining the convenience of mobile roaming and the Wi-Fi 6 connection, the terminal can be connected safely and automatically to the Wi-Fi network. Users can seamlessly roam the hot spots without repeating login. Open AFC also complements "Tip Openwifi". Tip Openwifi is an open source implementation of Wi-Fi software, to review the Wi-Fi construction and deploy, and that the Wi-Fi service provider can develop various suppliers access points, cloud controllers, and smart analysis. For the purpose. WBA's Tiago Rodriguez (CEO) says. "It is necessary to use this band fairly and fairly while optimizing the connection and economic benefits of 6GHz. Open AFC has the advantage of the Wi-Fi industry, including the network that introduces WBA Openroaming. It will be brought. OPEN AFC will strengthen Wi-Fi and provide secure and excellent broadband experience at stadiums, homes, companies, schools, hospitals, etc. " Supplement as follows. "AFC is indispensable for the future of 6GHz Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi devices provide excellent receiving areas by AFC and can operate outdoors. WBA is emphasized on improving Wi-Fi, which is provided by telecommunications operators. I do. AFC goes well with it. "
