Trump a 'Champion' of US Leadership on 5G, Says NTIA Chief

The U.S. government has the full backing of President Donald Trump as it moves forward on 5G, NTIA Administrator David Redl told the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences Monday in a speech in Stockholm. “The United States, through private industry activity and government policy, has made 5G development a priority goal,” Reld said. Trump is a “champion of the move to 5G, appreciating its importance to economic development and opportunity, and its importance to our national security strategy,” he said. Fifth-generation wireless will be “a true game changer, promising to enable entirely new and re-imagined services and devices that will take advantage of the technology’s high-speed, high capacity, and low latency attributes,” he said. Redl asked for support for Doreen Bogdan-Martin of the U.S. in her campaign to head ITU’s Development Sector: "Doreen would be the first woman to hold any of the ITU’s elected offices in the Union’s 153-year history.”
