“The World Wi-Fi Day is an opportunity to recognize the contributions being made to help connect the unconnected around the globe, whether they be in major cities or rural communities. WBA therefore calling on cities, governments, enterprises, operators and technology companies to come together today to help deliver affordable, sustainable connectivity for everyone, everywhere.”

“The digital divide is growing, and not just in developing countries – there is also an increase in the under-served ‘urban unconnected’ in the world’s largest economies. We are delighted that some of the biggest influencers within the industry ecosystem are participating and supporting World Wi-Fi Day – their support demonstrates just how important it is to address this critical issue. We encourage all stakeholders to actively participate and commit to deliver connectivity and access to information for all.”

“Wi-Fi is a key ingredient for cable customers, and we pledge to continue our efforts to improve Wi-Fi services through technology research.”

“Wi-Fi has allowed for many solutions in such a challenging time that it’s hard to image life without it. We’re using it in ways we’ve never dreamed of and realizing the importance of ensuring everyone has reliable and consistent access to Wi-Fi services and its many benefits.”

“Wi-Fi turns information technology into human technology. Our devices can now travel with us as digital companions, enhancing our lives in subtle and dramatic ways. Wi-Fi has unleashed a flood of human creativity and prosperity that elevates billions of lives around the world.”

“The challenge of how to serve our aging population is apparent. We believe that WiFi-based services are the key to affordable and accessible alternatives to allow our loved ones to age safely at home.”

“Without equal access to technology and the internet, girls and women are not able to equally participate in our ever more digital societies.”

“Demand for data is exponentially increasing globally. This is well supported by an affordable device ecosystem, availability of a variety of quality content, over-the-top (OTT) services, e-education, e-health, and other new use cases. Covid-19 has fueled this demand further and uptake is increasing in rural areas. Wi-Fi, an unlicensed band technology, is key both from access and back haul perspective. In India, Wi-Fi is being used not only as access but to extend connectivity, for example,  from Gram Panchayat (GP) to neighbouring villages. The use of Wi-Fi technology to establish point-to-point and multi-point links in an unlicensed band is one of the alternate and affordable technologies to extend connectivity from fiber point of presence to nearby villages.”

“As life moves towards normalcy post-COVID 19, we cannot deny the role that Wi-Fi played in keeping us virtually connected as we remained isolated. World Wi-Fi Day is a reminder of the promise of Wi-Fi to give people a voice and the opportunity to connect to a world full of new possibilities.”

“Wi-Fi is a way of life, and with 6 GHz, we’re unlocking its real potential: ubiquitous coverage, robust security, seamless experiences, and uninterrupted high-speed connectivity. When you add AI, you create intelligent networks that anticipate our needs and become the foundation for limitless innovation, helping build the future of smart cities, homes, hospitals, schools, stadiums, and more.”

“Wi-Fi has revolutionized the way we connect and interact with the world around us. It has transformed our homes into smart hubs, enabled remote work and learning, and fostered global communication and collaboration. Beyond convenience, Wi-Fi has bridged gaps, brought education and healthcare to underserved communities, and played a critical role in social inclusion.”

“WiFi is not just about internet access; it’s about creating connections that foster community, bridge divides, and empower individuals. Easy access to WiFi enables education and the sharing of knowledge, opening doors to opportunities for people everywhere. At Alta Labs, we believe that WiFi should be accessible by everyone.”
