The following statement can be attributed to WifiForward: 

“WifiForward applauds CITEL’s endorsement of the U.S. position for the upper 6 GHz band. The U.S. designation of this band for unlicensed use is part of a comprehensive spectrum strategy that allows for all types of technologies to thrive. On the other hand, if implemented globally, China’s heavy-handed spectrum policy would favor Chinese state-backed entities like Huawei and ZTE – something the U.S. should firmly stand against. Ahead of WRC, WifiForward urges continued support of unlicensed spectrum in the 6 GHz band, which will promote greater innovation, advance future generations of Wi-Fi, and benefit mobile carriers by augmenting capacity. As the international community considers the future of the 6 GHz band, WifiForward also encourages the FCC to finalize rules that will make it easier for unlicensed technology to thrive in this band.”
