Winning the 6G Race

President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to ensure America’s leadership in 6G development.

• The Memorandum directs immediate planning to relocate Federal systems currently using the 7.125-7.4 GHz band of spectrum so it can be cleared for full-power commercial 6G use.
  • Federal incumbents have 12 months to submit relocation plans that protect national security missions while freeing this prime spectrum for American industry.
• The Memorandum directs immediate study of two other critical spectrum bands—2.69-2.9 GHz and 4.4-4.94 GHz—as part of an effort to free up even more spectrum for full-power commercial 6G use.
• The Memorandum directs the Secretary of State and other members of the Administration to advance American leadership in 6G through diplomatic engagements.
