With 5G still in phased stages of development and deployment, it may seem premature to plan for the next generation of wireless communication technology. But with ambitious goals that build upon the current generation, it’s not too early to begin addressing the technological, regulatory, geographical and educational challenges that will be required to make ubiquitous 6G a reality.
This next generation of wireless technology is expected to bring even faster speeds, lower latency, and more bandwidth to instantly deliver massive amounts of data to and from more devices across decentralized, intelligent networks.
6G will accelerate the digitalization of economies and society, moving the world significantly closer to becoming a truly global and digital community. It envisions a society that by year 2030 is data-driven, enabled by near-instant, unlimited wireless connectivity. 6G will build on, and greatly expand, the capability that 5G is expected to deliver for vertical industries that rely on connectivity in healthcare, manufacturing, energy, transportation and public safety, no longer as a novelty or a special set of use cases, but as an integral part of our daily lives.
