Opportunistic power grant, and specifically to providing opportunistic power grants to Access Points (APs) by an Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) may be provided. An Access Point may be operating in a low power mode. The AP may connect to a STA and send a token to the STA, wherein the token includes a request for a STA location. The AP may receive the STA location in response. The AP may send the token and the STA location to an AFC. The AP may then receive instructions to operate in a standard power mode from the AFC. The AP may change operation to the standard power mode in response.
