The Wireless Microphone Spectrum Alliance (WMSA) is a proactive, unincorporated, not-for-profit coalition of stakeholders, including end users, live production service providers, and manufacturers, committed to ensuring wireless microphones’ access to RF spectrum. By securing available RF spectrum for wireless microphones, we aim to maintain the United States' status as a global leader in content and event production. This initiative supports a large and diverse industry, including but not limited to, concerts, events, corporate presentations, houses of worship, sports, film, television, music, and conferences, all of which are crucial in driving trends and innovation in content creation and related activity. These industries not only enrich our cultural landscape but also contribute significantly to the economy by generating significant revenue, creating jobs, and fostering innovation. Together, we strive to protect the spectrum that ensures the continued growth and economic vitality of these sectors, maintaining America's leadership in global content and event production.

Our mission is to:

1. Preserve RF Spectrum: Ensure the availability of spectrum for wireless microphone users across various industries.
2. Raise Awareness: Through education, highlight the critical importance of spectrum for concerts, live sports, live events, the film industry, broadcast, theater, worship and other content creators.
3. Foster Collaboration: Create a platform for stakeholders such as wireless microphone users, live production service providers and hardware manufacturers to join forces in advocating for spectrum preservation.
4. Engage Policymakers: Work closely with the FCC, Congress and other policymakers to advocate for sufficient spectrum allocations for current and future wireless microphone use.
5. Conduct Public Outreach: Encourage public involvement through outreach and events that demonstrate the necessity of wireless spectrum and the impact its loss would have on various productions.
