Wi-Fi Powers Jobs, the American Economy

An unlicensed 6 GHz band has been a powerful economic engine for the United States, and its continued success should be safeguarded.

A recent study conducted by Telecom Advisory Services affirms Wi-Fi’s powerful role in supporting the American job market. The number of jobs generated by Wi-Fi is set to triple by 2032, and the growth of unlicensed technologies is essential to make this groundbreaking growth possible.

Unlicensed spectrum is the backbone of the wireless experience, a reality that should be reflected in spectrum policy now and into the future.
