6G: A Network of Convergences?
About – 6G: A Network of Convergences?
Following the publication of this ABI Research white paper, we explore the concept of 6G as the natural end-state of a number of convergences:
– Between computing and communications
– Between types of network
– And between physical and virtual worlds.
Each type of convergence presents its own hurdles, even though we are already taking steps down those paths. And while the technology evolution is far from straightforward, the implications for business models, standards, services and processes are at least as important to understand. Join us as we unpick the strands that lead to 6G convergence.
Who should listen?
Telecoms strategy professionals; researchers; commercial leaders; Telecoms policy and regulation experts; business, financial and telecoms analysts; business and partnership strategy experts in government, NGOs, telecoms, Tech/IT, IoT, digital businesses and more.
