Advancing American Wi-Fi Against Foreign Adversaries Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Commerce, working through the head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, to write a plan within 180 days for how the United States will promote worldwide use of Wi-Fi and other unlicensed wireless technologies. The plan would be developed with the Federal Communications Commission, the State Department, the Defense Department, intelligence officials, and other agencies, and would include promoting worldwide use of the 5925 to 7125 megahertz band for Wi-Fi, including at the 2027 international radio conference in Shanghai, China. The plan must assess and include strategies to counter efforts by China and other adversary governments to undermine these technologies. The agency must seek public comment, post the plan online, and report to Congress on its implementation within 90 days after the 2027 conference ends.
