[Interpretation] Japan opens Wi-Fi 6E certification
On September 2, 2022, Japan's MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) issued a "provincial order on correcting the implementation rules of the radio wave law" (Order No. 59 of the Ministry of education for four years), which updated the technical requirements of the 5925 ~ 6425 MHz band of Wi-Fi 6E band 5. The next day (September 3), Japanese DSP agency publish the characteristic test method of "6GHz band Low Power Data Communication System", providing a test method for Japanese Wi-Fi 6E certification. Since then, Japan has opened its Wi-Fi 6E certification application. Here is an interpretation of the relevant regulations in Japan:
>> Equipment Categories <<
Equipment categories of Japanese Wi-Fi 6E:
As shown in the above table, Wi-Fi 6E band 5 in Japan is only allowed to be used in Low Power Indoor (LPI) and Very Low Power (VLP) at present.
>> MIC VS CE & FCC <<
Comparison of Wi-Fi 6E technical requirements between Japan, Australia, European Union and the United States:
As shown in the above table, the technical requirements of Japanese Wi-Fi 6E are close to those of the European Union.
>> Test Items <<
Japanese Wi-Fi 6E certification requires the following tests:
As shown in the above table, the test items of Japanese Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 5G are not very different.
In Japan, the higher band (6425 ~ 7125 MHz) of Wi-Fi 6E is still under careful consideration and has not been opened yet. BTL will share the latest information with you after the subsequent update of the Japanese Wi-Fi 6E band.

6G Developments: Past, Present and Future
The formulation of 6G standards has entered a more concrete phase. At the 3GPP RAN Plenary Meeting held in Singapore in June 2026, the industry made progress in multiple key research areas and finalized the timeline for Release 21, which is regarded as the first standard version expected to formally define 6G.
Overview of EN IEC 61000-4-29:2026
The key focus of the 2026 edition is to address new DC power distribution environments, especially higher-voltage DC systems. It also clarifies test generator capability, duration tolerance, current limitation during short interruptions, inrush current verification, result evaluation, and test report requirements. For products using 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 380 Vdc, 400 Vdc, 800 Vdc, or other DC input pow
