HR 1765 United States House · 119th Congress

Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025

HR 1765, the Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025, requires the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to enhance U.S. representation and leadership in international wireless standards bodies (like 3GPP, IEEE, and ISO) that set rules for 5G and future wireless networks. It mandates encouraging participation and offering technical expertise to U.S. companies and stakeholders in these bodies, while excluding entities deemed "not trusted" due to national security concerns (based on existing government determinations). The bill also requires the Assistant Secretary to brief relevant congressional committees within 60 days of enactment on implementation strategy. This directly affects U.S. technology companies and experts participating in global wireless standard-setting, aiming to strengthen U.S. influence in developing next-generation network standards.
