Open AFC
The goal of the Open AFC Software Group is to develop a reference open source implementation of an Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) system that enables unlicensed devices in the newly available 6 GHz band to operate outdoors, and increase their range indoors, while ensuring existing services are protected.
The Open AFC Software Group is a dedicated open-source community for the design, development, testing and potentially certification of AFC software for unlicensed services (e.g., Wi-Fi) in the 6 GHz band.
Scope & deliverables
The Open AFC software project group will focus on the iterative development, validation, and contribution of open software for cloud-based AFC services and devices, with the general deliverables being
Source Code, supporting software including test software, scripts, and system validation source code
Requirements documents, design documents, configurations, and test process documentation
