Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones (SUBTEL) announced an update regarding the processing of type approval applications for Wi-Fi 6E products leveraging the 6 GHz band. Applications submitted before September 14, 2022 using the complete 5925‑7125 MHz band will be rejected. If the application has not yet been reviewed by a SUBTEL engineer, it is possible to submit new test reports including only the allowed 5925-6425 MHz range. All applications that were previously approved in the full 5925‑7125 MHz band must be re-submitted using new technical documentation including test reports limited to the 5925‑6425 MHz range.
