WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2025 — A new WiFi demonstration reached speeds nearing 10 gigabits per second, offering a glimpse into how next-generation technology could transform home connectivity.
Spectrum, a communications provider under Charter Communications, partnered with Broadcom to demonstrate next-generation WiFi technology.
At SCTE’s TechExpo25 in here last week, the companies showed how adding 125 megahertz of unlicensed spectrum to the full 6 gigahertz band could enable four 320 MHz channels or two 640 MHz channels. The demonstration highlighted how expanded access to spectrum could boost WiFi performance for devices such as smartphones, AR/VR headsets, gaming systems and computers, nearing speeds of 10 Gbps.
The previously selected testing company stepped down after an FCC probe into its ties to China.
Legislation filed as an amendment to the upcoming Senate appropriations package.
NTIA Administrator Arielle Roth has said she would support permitting reform as one potential use for the funds.
The shift followed a December executive order aligning broadband execution with federal artificial intelligence policy.
