Wi-Fi Alliance is committed to influencing regulation and policies to open and protect valuable unlicensed spectrum resources
Unlicensed spectrum – where Wi-Fi operates – is one of society's most vital resources and a crucial component to connecting everyone and everything, everywhere while also delivering immense socioeconomic value. Today’s priority remains driving the global adoption of the full 6 GHz band for unlicensed use so that Wi-Fi can continue to be relied on to deliver daily connectivity and enable future innovation. As new spectrum opportunities unfold, Wi-Fi Alliance will continue to advocate for fair spectrum policies that foster a robust ecosystem, economic growth, and unparalleled connectivity.

Wi-Fi's impact on gigabit connectivity in Europe
Wi-Fi enables a variety of use cases critical to the European way of life. We rely on Wi-Fi for work, admin, and play. Wi-Fi makes it easy for people to access fixed broadband networks, and with the substantial increase in Wi-Fi traffic in Europe between now and 2030, European countries will need to make more spectrum available for Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi needs access to the full 6 GHz band to provide gigabit coverage throughout a building. Without license-exempt access to the upper 6 GHz band, it's impossible to realize the full potential of Wi-Fi technology. Many of the world's most advanced economies have made the entire 6 GHz band license-exempt. The rapidly growing demand for Wi-Fi connectivity requires 6 GHz operation in order to be successful.
