6 GHz Channel Allocation and Notation

6 GHz low power (LP)

6 GHz standard power (SP)

For AP5050U/D (outdoor), 6 GHz radio operates in Standard Power (SP) mode under the control of the AFC server (pending final approval by the FCC).

The 6 GHz band supports a large number of channels (LP supports UNII-5,6,7 and 8, while SP supports UNII-5 and 7).

Preferred Scanning Channels (PSC) are highlighted below.

Channel Select

It is recommended to select Preferred Scanning Channel (PSC) of 20 MHz & 40 MHz channel widths for better performance.

Because numerous channels are offered on the 6 GHz band, it is a best practice to configure the Preferred Scanning Channel (PSC) so that the amount of probing is kept to a minimum. Preferred channels function as primary channels at each channel width: 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz.

If 80 or 160 MHz channel width is selected, the beacons are automatically transmitted over PSC channels.

Note

All channels on the 6 GHz band are supported when 20 MHz and 40 MHz are used. It is a best practice to configure Preferred Scanning Channels for faster scanning.
