NTIA launches global ‘Call to Action’ for 6G
July 27, 2026
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) at the US Department of Commerce has announced the launch of the ‘Call to Action for 6G Leadership and Security’. This initiative brings together partner governments to advance a shared vision and roadmap to secure leadership in the next generation of global communications. The Call to Action advances the objectives of President Trump’s December 2025 Presidential Memorandum on ‘Winning the 6G Race’ , which identifies next generation 6G networks as foundational to the national security, foreign policy, and economic prosperity of the United States.
“The Call to Action for 6G Leadership and Security reflects an unprecedented level of international coordination on the future of communications technology,” said Arielle Roth, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information and NTIA Administrator. “Today’s action recognises that 6G will be dramatically different from 5G, and that advancing US and allied leadership requires a dramatically different playbook. By working now with trusted partners, we will ensure that next generation networks reflect our shared security interests, strengthen our competitiveness, and drive innovation. I am proud of the role NTIA has played in building this global partnership, and I look forward to seeing our shared commitments translated into meaningful action.”
NTIA is launching this initiative alongside more than 20 partner governments spanning Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and the Western Hemisphere. Through the Call to Action, participating governments have pledged to strengthen cooperation on 6G over the next 12 months and beyond in support of security, interoperability, and resilience in next generation networks. The initiative also recognises that trusted artificial intelligence (AI) will be central to the development and operation of secure and innovative 6G networks for the United States and its global partners.
The initiative establishes specific milestones to deepen strategic coordination and clear the way for private-sector innovation as 6G moves toward commercialisation.
Additionally, on July 29th, Deputy Secretary of Commerce Paul Dabbar and Assistant Secretary Roth will speak about the Call to Action at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
