The “WLAN Regulations” set out a regulatory policy for the use of WLAN applications in the Kingdom and it makes available a new spectrum in the 6 GHz and 60 GHz bands to stimulate further use of WLAN applications. CITC hopes to see these regulations lead to an acceleration in the adoption and deployment of Wi-Fi 6E in the Kingdom.
This innovative approach led the Wi-Fi Alliance to endorse the Kingdom’s leadership in enabling the next generation of wireless services which will unleash a wave of new Wi-Fi 6E products and services to Saudi Arabia’s consumers, enterprises, and economy. CITC aims to ensure regulatory transparency and to enable the latest emerging technology applications such as WiGig, virtual and augmented reality (VR / AR), and the Internet of Things (IoT).
