President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum on Friday directing federal agencies to begin clearing government-controlled airwaves so private companies can develop next-generation 6G wireless networks, according to a fact sheet released by the White House.
In practical terms, the action is designed to free up portions of the radio spectrum currently used by federal systems so the private sector can begin planning and building faster wireless networks. The administration says the move is intended to help the United States remain competitive as other countries race to develop 6G technology.
The memorandum orders immediate planning to relocate federal systems operating in the 7.125–7.4 gigahertz band, a range the White House describes as prime spectrum for future wireless services. Federal agencies using that band will have 12 months to submit relocation plans that preserve national security operations while allowing the spectrum to be repurposed for commercial use.
The directive also calls for studies of two additional spectrum ranges — 2.69–2.9 GHz and 4.4–4.94 GHz — to determine whether they can also be cleared for full-power commercial 6G networks.
