While there has been a great deal discussed about the societal, environmental and economic demands which 6G will need to meet in different countries, little tangible has yet been achieved in the run-up to standardisation next year. Can we sensibly frame technology standards without tying them to these outputs?
The USA’s Next G Alliance released a report by its Societal and Economic Needs [SEN] working group last week titled “Beyond Speed: Promoting Social and Economic Opportunities through 6G and Beyond”. Especially when it comes to the vexed issue of trust, the report takes a deep dive into concrete solutions and actions.
While SK Telecom’s 58-page document is extremely wide-ranging, there are some important messages which might get lost in the noise. This white paper doesn’t only propose technical solutions but spells out a philosophy for how the telecoms market should approach 6G.
The Alliance has released technology proposals for radio innovations that meet IMT-2030 performance demands. Not bad for such a young association.
In June the IEEE ratified the 802.11bb standard to relatively little acclaim. However, this standard opens up some pretty exciting possibilities. This article explores some of the ramifications that come along with having a global standard.
We are getting more clarity on the technical aspects of what 6G might need to be or do. However, there are major questions which arise on the commercial front. Unless the industry can find answers to these, very real opportunities may go to waste.
A move towards software-driven networks is creating a shift in the dynamics of the telecoms vendor community. What is already happening may be just a taste of things to come.
In our recent webinars we had highly engaged audiences who asked dozens of questions across a broad range of topics. As these reflect the interests and understanding of 6GWorlds’ readership, we have tried to address the biggest and most popular questions in this compilation article.
