6 Months in 6G – What’s Changed and What’s Next?
The last six months have seen a wide variety of activities from key global organisations, research facilities and thought leaders all helping to shape the direction and nature of advanced 5G and what comes after. At the same time, this has opened up some important new questions and problems about how to achieve complex objectives.
What does this look like in aggregate, what’s coming and what do we need to do about it?
On 15th June 6GWorld brings together leading experts from Finland’s 6GFlagship, ETSI, and InterDigital to explore the key take-aways and controversies from the event.
