Regulatory Update
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of the Philippines has issued Memorandum Circular 002-07-2024, amending Article 2 of Memorandum Circular 05-03-2007 to include Wi-Fi 6E bands.
Effective July 20th, this amendment updates Operation Parameters for HIPERLAN and RLAN, enabling manufacturers to apply for Wi-Fi 6E certification. Previously approved products can now renew to include the 6 GHz band.
This regulatory update addresses consumer frustration over the delayed adoption of Wi-Fi 6E technology in the Philippines. With the 6 GHz band now available, faster and more reliable wireless connectivity is expected, complementing existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands strained by increasing device use.
This development heralds improved performance and capabilities for Filipino consumers embracing Wi-Fi 6E technology.
