Washington, D.C.; December 22nd, 2025
Our article presents confirmed first hand information released by The White House, which published an official presidential memorandum titled Winning the 6G Race, detailing a coordinated federal strategy intended to secure United States leadership in the development, standardization, and deployment of sixth generation wireless communications technology.
According to the White House release, the memorandum was issued by Donald J. Trump and establishes it as the policy of the United States to lead the world in 6G wireless innovation. The document describes next generation wireless networks as foundational infrastructure for future economic growth, national security, and technological competitiveness, emphasizing that early leadership in standards, spectrum allocation, and research is viewed by the administration as essential to long term national interests.
The memorandum outlines a series of directives aimed at aligning federal agencies around this objective. Central to the policy is spectrum planning, with the White House directing federal departments and agencies to begin studies and preparatory actions related to specific frequency bands identified as critical for future 6G deployment. These include the 7.125 to 7.4 gigahertz band, with agencies instructed to assess relocation or sharing options that would enable full commercial use within established timelines. Additional studies are directed for the 2.69 to 2.9 gigahertz and 4.4 to 4.94 gigahertz bands to evaluate their suitability for next generation wireless services.
White House materials state that these spectrum actions are intended to ensure that sufficient mid band resources are available for future commercial networks while balancing the operational needs of existing federal users. The memorandum emphasizes interagency coordination as a key requirement, with departments expected to work collaboratively to identify technical, operational, and regulatory pathways that support the national 6G objective.
Beyond domestic spectrum policy, the memorandum places significant emphasis on international engagement. According to the White House, the Secretary of State, in coordination with senior officials responsible for science, technology, telecommunications, and economic policy, is directed to advance United States leadership in global 6G discussions. This includes participation in international standards bodies and bilateral and multilateral engagements intended to shape the technical and governance frameworks under which 6G technologies will be developed and deployed worldwide.
The White House release further notes that 6G networks are expected to support a wide range of future applications, including advanced artificial intelligence systems, autonomous transportation, secure communications, and critical infrastructure operations. While the memorandum does not set performance benchmarks or deployment timelines, it frames early policy alignment as necessary to position the United States advantageously as the technology matures over the coming years.
According to the White House, the Winning the 6G Race memorandum builds upon prior federal efforts to promote leadership in advanced communications technologies, extending existing policy frameworks into the next generation of wireless systems. The administration characterized the directive as a forward looking measure designed to ensure that federal planning, spectrum policy, and international engagement are aligned well in advance of widespread commercial deployment.
The publication of the memorandum appears among a series of late December 2025 White House releases addressing technology, national security, and economic competitiveness. As an official presidential directive, the document serves as a guiding policy statement for federal agencies and a public record of the administration’s stated approach to next generation wireless communications.
