Broadband, Communications, & Spectrum
Wired and wireless broadband technology have revolutionized the way we work, play, and connect with each other. Futureproof fiber optics and the next generation of wireless network technology will be transformational. Global deployment and connectivity rely on forward-looking policies that support research and development, enable access to spectrum, integrate security, utilize standards, and facilitate ubiquitous access.
To enable countries around the world to fully reap the benefits of this technology, ITI works to develop and promote policies that will advance the deployment of cutting-edge network technology.
