The FCC is poised to unleash brand new spectrum for Wi-Fi. Is this the economic boost we need?
We’re using Wi-Fi now more than ever before. And the good news is that, thanks to two proposals from the FCC, Wi-Fi is about to get more spectrum, which can make our connections even better.
A recent study by Dr. Raul Katz found that opening the 5.9 GHz and 6 GHz bands for unlicensed use could add more than $180B to the U.S. economy.
As part of WifiForward’s Wi-Fi at Work webinar series, Dr. Raul Katz discussed his study and the potential benefits of more spectrum for Wi-Fi and unlicensed use in this 30 minute digital event.
A summary of Dr. Katz’s findings and the full report are both available on the WifiForward website.
Stay tuned for future #WiFiatWork events! Upcoming episodes will feature speakers from Wireless Internet Service Providers connecting rural communities, community leaders using innovative models (and spectrum) to help residents get online and industry analysts with their eyes on the market and how Wi-Fi may be a big piece of a global economic recovery.
