“Today the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced its intention to release the full 6 GHz band to unlicensed use meaning that once the process is completed, 1.2 GHz of new spectrum will be made available to Wi-Fi. With this new regulation Saudi Arabia becomes the first country in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region to release the full 6 GHz and will lead the world in total available mid-band license-exempt spectrum.”
