Very Low Power (VLP)

A 6 GHz device class for short-range portable use indoors and outdoors without AFC.

Definition

VLP devices operate at very low PSD (for example -5 dBm/MHz in the US, with 14 dBm max EIRP) and are intended for wearables, AR/VR, and in-car use. The FCC adopted VLP rules in 2023. VLP is also used in other regions.

Exam tip

VLP targets personal-area devices, not enterprise APs.
