6 GHz now carries roughly 50% of all residential Wi-Fi use for compatible devices. Consumers and businesses are already relying on the band every day. Read the study: https://t.co/IbKqFqBRq0

Smartwatches, connected health devices, and baby monitors all depend on Wi-Fi and other unlicensed technologies to keep a strong connection. With these devices spending the majority of their time over Wi-Fi, demand for more Wi-Fi continues to grow. https://t.co/Ty5XGLbDYh

From mobile tickets and concession orders to social media posts and rideshare apps, Wi‑Fi powers nearly every part of the modern gameday experience. Read more in our latest blog: https://t.co/6nUxxbUN08

AI is increasing demand on enterprise networks, and #WiFi will be key to supporting that growth. At a @SenateCommerce hearing, @Cisco's Bob Everson highlighted why preserving the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi is crucial to meeting today’s connectivity needs.

The Wi-Fi lesson is simple: innovation thrives when government creates space for innovation. An @ABIresearch report says Wi‑Fi is a “key enabler” of innovations that will define the future. Read more in a blog from @ceidotorg: https://t.co/0zNYDxdUSc

New @WifiForward data shows the full 6 GHz band is delivering for Americans:

➡️4.1B+ 6 GHz-enabled devices projected to be sold by year-end
➡️50%+ of home Wi-Fi use by compatible devices runs over 6 GHz
➡️3x faster Wi-Fi speeds over 6 GHz vs. 5 GHz in large venues

“Somewhere between 80% & 90% of mobile data traffic already travels over Wi-Fi — unlicensed local wireless networks, not licensed cellular networks. Wi-Fi carries roughly 10x more data than all licensed cellular networks combined.” - @IPI & @MaderyBridge: https://t.co/8SZJxoAlmt

Data centers may power AI, but homes, schools, hospitals, and workplaces are where people experience its benefits. As AI demand grows, strong Wi‑Fi and sufficient spectrum will be more important than ever. Read more: https://t.co/Vtvo8TyrvB

Wi‑Fi isn't just about convenience. It's one of the biggest reasons Americans can connect more devices and use more data without seeing connectivity costs rise alongside demand. Read more in our latest blog: https://t.co/LDRyvWS9NQ

The debate over 6 GHz isn’t just about spectrum. It’s about whether the U.S. will continue leading the next generation of wireless innovation. Read more in @WashTimes: https://t.co/iSDj4eLzIh

Spectrum policy decisions shape how Americans connect at home, work, and on the go. In the @JCPress, Jon Decker of @AmerComm argues that the FCC should designate the lower 7 GHz band for unlicensed #WiFi to expand access and handle growing demand. More: https://t.co/omQiGNddyI

A new report shows 6 GHz Wi-Fi adoption has grown at an unprecedented pace, with more than 4.1 billion devices expected to ship worldwide by the end of 2026. The future of connectivity depends on preserving access to the full 6 GHz band. Read more: https://t.co/IbKqFqBjAs

The AI conversation shouldn't stop at large language models. Enterprise AI depends on reliable, high-capacity Wi-Fi connectivity where people work. Read @Cisco's report on AI readiness:

WifiForward’s Mary Brown spoke to the demand for Wi-Fi: "Consumer devices shipping in North America went from 95 million devices that shipped in 2024 to an estimated 367 million that will ship in 2029. That is a 288% increase that is projected by @ABIresearch.”

As AI accelerates in workplaces, schools, healthcare facilities, and more, robust #WiFi networks will be more important than ever to keep pace. In a recent letter to @SenateCommerce, WifiForward emphasized the need for unlicensed spectrum to support AI: https://t.co/Kye6tUfyVB

@Speedtest's new report makes one thing clear: additional spectrum leads to faster speeds for customers. Download speeds increased by 76% over the last four years and will continue to do so if we unlock additional spectrum for unlicensed use. Read more: https://t.co/s2TXujImFy

The world is splitting into different approaches to the 6 GHz band. The question is simple: how do we ensure consumers, businesses, and innovators have the connectivity they need to compete and grow? The answer: Unlicensed spectrum. More in @IEEESpectrum: https://t.co/RbTR6odAKr

The first Trump Admin gave America a huge Wi-Fi advantage. But @CoryGardner is right: all of that is in danger as China expands its influence. We must resist China's advances, defend unlicensed spectrum, and make even more spectrum available for Wi-Fi. https://t.co/KCAmZQSm0L
