Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025

This bill tells the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to help U.S. companies and other stakeholders take part in the groups that set technical standards for 5G and future wireless networks. NTIA should encourage participation and offer technical help, working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the State Department. The support does not apply to companies or stakeholders deemed “not trusted,” meaning they are found to pose a national security threat. The standards groups include ISO, 3GPP, IEEE, and organizations accredited by ANSI or ATIS.

• Who is affected: U.S. companies and stakeholders in wireless technology; NTIA, NIST, and the State Department.
• What changes: More encouragement and technical expertise to join and contribute to standards groups; no help for “not trusted” entities that pose national security risks .
• When: NTIA must deliver a strategy to carry this out within about 60 days after the bill becomes law.
