5G
5G is bringing faster speeds across America. Congress must act to create a spectrum pipeline that paves the way for 5G technology innovation.
What does 5G mean? 5G stands for “fifth generation”—and the fifth generation of wireless is here. 5G is bringing faster speeds and expanded coverage across America.
The United States is leading the way in 5G availability and our future is brighter than ever. The benefits of a faster network are limited only by our imagination. Some benefits include:
- Powering our smart homes
- Delivering faster speeds for remote work and homework
- Enhancing our telehealth
5G technology is only possible if there is flexibility for future innovation and applications. To ensure access to faster wireless services—from the Internet of Things (IoT) to 5G home broadband and beyond—we need a spectrum pipeline.

We can thank private investment and government reforms for speeding up wireless deployment, but we still need all levels of government to work together with companies to expedite the rollout of wireless networks, including 5G.
Both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) play important roles in finding enough spectrum to support 5G technology and services. But there is more work to do.
