HR 1377 United States House · 118th Congress

Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2023

HR 1377, the Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2023, directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce to enhance U.S. participation in global wireless standards bodies (like 3GPP and IEEE) for 5G and future networks. It requires equitably encouraging U.S. companies and stakeholders - excluding those deemed "not trusted" due to national security risks - to participate in these bodies. The bill mandates a 60-day briefing to Congress on implementation strategy and defines key terms, including "not trusted" (based on existing security determinations). This act focuses on facilitating U.S. industry involvement in setting wireless standards, directly affecting companies seeking to contribute to global 5G/6G network specifications.
