ARRIS is a big supporter of Wi-Fi.

After all, it powers the majority of our Internet activities, whether that's watching video or surfing the web wifion our tablets, TVs, laptops, or phones.

Wi-Fi is so important that we've joined forces with some of the world's leading technology companies—in a new coalition called WifiForward —to improve it through the use of unlicensed spectrum.

Unlicensed spectrum encompasses the radio frequencies that the FCC lets people use without a license. This includes the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies that we use for Wi-Fi today.

But there are other frequencies in the spectrum that also are available for Wi-Fi, and they're becoming increasingly important as our current frequencies become more and more congested with the increasing number of devices that use them.

That's where WifiForward comes in. We're working with policymakers to open up additional spectrum, like the 3.5Ghz frequency, to stimulate the economy, encourage innovation in consumer electronics and wireless networking, and ensure that consumers can continue to download, upload, and stream all their favorite content, freely.
