"“AI and wireless are converging, and physical AI - where AI doesn't just answer questions but takes action in the real world - is where everything changes,” CTIA president and CEO Ajit Pai said in the press release."
"“The report says that within the next two years, 75% of smartphones will be powered by AI. The convergence of AI and wireless is enabling performance of tasks in the real world. Robotics, drones, and intelligent machines using both technologies will have a presence with their human coworkers in places such as factories and hospitals, and in public safety scenarios.”"
"“Time is of the essence. The press release said that the U.S. had its biggest jump ever in wireless traffic in 2025 and that AI will account for 30% of all broadband traffic by 2034. The good news, CTIA said, is that progress is being made. For instance, wireless networks have seen a 30% improvement in efficiency. Additional gains will be made by the advent of AI-native 6G networks.”"
"“The CTIA believes that a unified national strategy for AI and wireless would be important to fulfilling goals such as: Expediting the 800-megahertz spectrum pipeline established by Congress, including the Federal Communications Commission's 2027 C-Band auction and progress on 2.7 GHz to address near-term demand. Prioritizing the 4 GHz and 6/7 GHz bands for licensed use. This will provide the large and contiguous spectrum blocks 6G requires. Replacing today's state-by-state patchwork of permitting rules with nationwide standards to streamline AI and wireless infrastructure deployment. Pairing infrastructure policy with investment-friendly tax policy.”"
A unified national strategy for AI and wireless is needed to support major infrastructure investment. Within two years, 75% of smartphones are expected to be powered by AI. AI and wireless convergence enables real-world task performance, including robotics, drones, and intelligent machines working alongside people in factories, hospitals, and public safety. Wireless traffic growth is accelerating, with AI projected to account for 30% of all broadband traffic by 2034. Wireless networks have improved efficiency by 30%, and further gains are expected from AI-native 6G networks. The strategy includes expediting spectrum pipeline progress, prioritizing licensed 4 GHz and 6/7 GHz bands, replacing state-by-state permitting with nationwide standards, and pairing infrastructure policy with investment-friendly tax policy.
