FCC to Explore Unlicensed Spectrum for Direct-to-Device

On August 6, 2026 the Federal Communications Commission voted to explore new ways to allow unlicensed wireless devices to communicate directly with satellites. The Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking examining reforms to enable devices operating in certain Part 15 bands to connect with FCC-authorized satellites, potentially providing WiFi to consumers and businesses and enabling use of such equipment on and between FCC-approved spacecraft. The move follows a July proposal to use unlicensed spectrum to support direct-to-device (D2D) connections. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr described the effort as combining satellite constellations with the unlicensed device ecosystem to expand connectivity into dead zones.
