Line of Effort 1:
Facilitate Domestic 5G Rollout
The Administration is facilitating the private sector-led domestic rollout of 5G, primarily
coordinated by the National Economic Council. The Federal Communication
Commission’s (FCC) strategy to Facilitate America’s Superiority in 5G Technology (the
5G FAST Plan): (1) makes more spectrum available for commercial use; (2) streamlines
government processes for approving 5G infrastructure deployment; and (3) modernizes
regulations to promote deployment of 5G backhaul. 1 In addition, the October 25, 2018
Presidential Memorandum on Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for
America’s Future directed the Secretary of Commerce to issue a National Spectrum
Strategy, which will lay out a long-term plan for spectrum management for 5G and
future generations of advanced wireless networks, to include both space and terrestrial
systems.
The Administration will also continue to work aggressively with the private sector, as
well as like-minded partners and allies to foster and promote the research,
development, testing, and evaluation of new technologies and architectures that
advance the state-of-the-art technology for 5G and beyond.
