Certified in October 2026: Wi-Fi 7 goes standard power, CBRS spreads to phones and handhelds
Each month Certline pulls new equipment authorizations from the FCC's official API and highlights what changed. October brought a wave of Wi-Fi 7 access points cleared for 6 GHz standard power, CBRS support in every new Motorola phone, and steady module refreshes from the major cellular module vendors.
6 GHz standard power: enterprise Wi-Fi 7 arrives
Standard-power devices (classes 6SD and 6FC) can transmit at higher power across 5.925 to 6.875 GHz under control of an Automated Frequency Coordination system. Twelve of the 13 October grants were original equipment, and every one that names a Wi-Fi generation says Wi-Fi 7.
| Grantee | FCC ID | Device | Granted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Juniper Networks | 2AHBN-AP27 | Wi-Fi 7 access point | Oct 20 |
| Juniper Networks | 2AHBN-AP66 | Wi-Fi 7 access point (Class II change) | Oct 22 |
| Extreme Networks | QXO-AP3020, QXO-AP3020X | Access points | Oct 8, Oct 12 |
| TP-Link Systems | 2BH7FEAP773V2, 2BH7FAP9788 | BE11000 and BE22000 ceiling-mount Wi-Fi 7 APs | Oct 7, Nov 2 |
| TP-Link Systems | 2BH7FBBRG7 | BE10000 Wi-Fi 7 router (6SD and 6FC) | Nov 1 |
| HAN Networks | 2ALJ3AP57X, AP56X, AP541E | Access points | Oct 9 to 15 |
| Sercomm | P27AIR4992-41 | AT&T ALL-Fi Extender | Oct 7 |
| Alpha Networks | RRK-W1700A3 | Wi-Fi 7 router | Oct 12 |
| Tarana Wireless | 2ABOF-GXRN8356910 | RN system, fixed client (also certified for CBRS) | Oct 6 |
Two details stand out. TP-Link's three grants list 6115 to 6855 MHz while most other vendors certified from 5955 MHz. And a carrier-branded extender (Sercomm's AT&T ALL-Fi) is now in the standard-power class, not only enterprise gear.
CBRS: phones, rugged handhelds and private-5G gear
CBRS (3.55 to 3.7 GHz) used to be mostly small cells and routers. In October, 22 of the 26 CBRS grants were end-user devices (class CBE).
- Phones and tablets: all four new Motorola phones (IHDT56AX7, AX9, AY1, AY2), Apple's BCGA3596 described as a "Tablet Device", TECNO's KN8S, and an Inventus smartphone and tablet.
- Rugged and enterprise handhelds: Zebra (UZ7TCX01G), Point Mobile (V2X-MF52E), TSC Auto ID (VTVX40), SEUIC (Cruise3), Leica's CS50 field controller and a Skydio drone controller.
- Modules: Sierra Wireless EM92F (new), Telit FE910C04 and Getac's FN990B (Class II changes).
- Infrastructure (class CBD): Nokia 7705 SAR-Hmc, two Airspan remote units and Tarana's RN system at up to 83 W.
