WE ARE RWA

The Rural Wireless Association is a Washington, DC-based trade association that ensures rural wireless carriers with fewer than 100,000 subscribers have a strong voice in our nation’s capital. RWA members are united in their goal to drive wireless telecom and broadband policy to strengthen rural America for the benefit of all of America.

RWA holds successful Networking Lounge at GSMA Mobile World Congress Americas

This past September RWA hosted our Rural Wireless Networking Lounge at MWCA 17 in San Francisco. Industry leaders and RWA members gathered to discuss what is next for the Rural Wireless industry. Thank you to all who attended and of course to our sponsors who made the lounge a huge success! Stay tuned for MWCA 2018 event announcement!

Our members enjoy the benefits of a trade association that understands the ins and outs of the industry, and the important issues that rural wireless operators face. Our legal and regulatory counsel has over 30 years of experience fighting for the needs of rural carriers before the FCC, state regulatory agencies, and Congress. RWA also provides numerous networking and educational opportunities to further the business interests of our members.
