Communication Activities

Work on Wi-Fi: Policy Impact Partners supports a multi company coalition to advocate for more licence-exempt radio spectrum to be made available for WAS/RLANs and to raise the importance of Wi-Fi in achieving EU connectivity goals. Companies are members of the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, specifically Apple, Amazon, Meta, HPE, Cisco, Intel. In 2025 this also included Qualcomm. From 2026 Qualcomm is no longer funding this work. Sometimes the work involves organising and attending meetings with EU based regulators and national ministries to discuss EU policy and regulatory initiatives, the European Commission (DG CNECT), BEREC, and taking part in working groups of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations Administrations (CEPT) meetings (ECC and CPG) responding to public consultations, knowledge sharing, running workshops, attending events and monitoring regulatory developments.

Additional Information

The coalition of companies work collectively on EU policy initiatives and Policy Impact Partners supports the work of the whole group but does not receive direct contracts or funding from all companies that are actively involved in the efforts. So for example if a Policy Impact Partners led consultation response refers to a list of companies, Policy Impact Partners may not have a direct contract with all of those companies but is supporting the combined industry co-ordinated response. As of 2026 Policy Impact Partners work with multiple companies will be funded by the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance
