WifiForward Statement on 5.9 GHz White Copy

Today, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai unveiled a common-sense plan for the unused 5.9 GHz band that will grow Wi-Fi networks when we need them more than ever and set the stage for cutting-edge auto safety innovations. This proposal with bipartisan support expands the country’s existing primary Wi-Fi band and creates a new wide channel to deliver gigabit speeds to Americans in school, in doctors’ offices and at home. It’s a win-win-win for consumers, businesses and the automotive industry. WifiForward commends the Chairman and his colleagues for their leadership in smart, balanced spectrum policy.
