The National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) of Papua New Guinea has launched a public consultation on proposed regulations for the use of the 6 GHz spectrum band by wireless devices.

The consultation covers two draft documents: the Guideline on the Operation of WAS/RLAN in the 6 GHz Band and the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2026.

Under the proposal, the new Class Licence would replace the 2016 version and introduce the 5925–6425 MHz frequency band for low-power Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) transmitters, supporting technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7.

NICTA is inviting comments from industry stakeholders and the public until 10 July 2026. Feedback may be submitted via email or delivered to NICTA offices, with submissions to be published on the authority's Public Register in accordance with the National Information and Communications Technology Act, 2009.
