The Future of Wi-Fi

Thanks to unlicensed spectrum, Wi-Fi has become the glue that binds our digital lifestyles. But the last time new unlicensed spectrum was made available, Steve Jobs had just introduced the iPhone and Roku had just made its debut. Fast forward ten years and 18 iPhone iterations later, and nothing has changed. We’re way past due for Wi-Fi upgrade.

But getting America to gigabit speeds will require more than just unlicensed spectrum. It will also require wide, more versatile channels that are already close to the channels we currently use. Enter 5.9 GHz. As the best near-term option for unlicensed spectrum suitable for Wi-Fi, the 5.9 GHz band is the key to next generation technologies and a future free of Wi-Fi traffic jams and bottlenecks.

Every day, more devices depend on Wi-Fi to access the internet. As a result, the unlicensed spectrum that Wi-Fi relies on has become crowded. The gigabit technologies of today and tomorrow are going to need more spectrum to keep up with demand. Enter 5.9 GHz!

As our technological and digital demands increase and devices expand, so will our need for more spectrum. Fortunately, there is a solution to the Wi-Fi crunch. By freeing up more spectrum and allowing it to be used by unlicensed technologies, we could jump start a new generation of Wi-Fi available in more places and at much higher speeds.
