7 Emerging Themes in 6G During 2021 So Far
While much is still unknown about what comes beyond 5G, the past six months have seen some considerable leaps forward in the thinking around it. 6GWorld has been fortunate to be involved with many conversations, webinars, events like the 6GSymposium, and more, and there are a number of patterns in people’s thinking that seem to be emerging. Excitingly, there is a clear awareness of how radically different the telecoms sector will need to be and how differently it will need to do things, in order to deliver in a way that works for business, society, and the environment.
Apples and Applications: Use Cases Uniting Enterprise and Telco at the Edge
Ahead of Mobile World Congress, 6GWorld sat down with Susan James, Senior Director of Telecoms Strategy at Red Hat, to talk about the early indicators of adoption they are seeing in edge networking and how that relates to other trends such as private networking.
We examine the realities of edge networking technology, analytics and the business models that might make it viable.
Building Towards 2024: 6G and KRIS X Biome
The KRIS X Biome project aims to create cities that combine renewable living, technology, and biodiversity in a destination that’s both educational and entertaining. The ultimate aim would be to build one on every continent, bringing together different aspects of regional ecologies. The first, however, is set to be in North America, not far from New York City.
This fledgling project aims to foster research into beyond-5G, and beyond-6G, technologies and services as the project builds out.
Video Interview – 6G Fundamentals and Vision with David Soldani
This conversation was based on Dr David Soldani’s recent paper “6G Fundamentals: Vision and Enabling Technologies Towards Trustworthy Solutions and Resilient Systems”, which brings together an overall view of what a network in 6G might end up requiring and looking like. This video introduces a few of the ideas expressed in the paper, including the need to combine machine learning and machine cognition, and how a network that is designed to sense can also be better at protecting privacy.
You can read or download the whole paper in the ‘Latest Research’ section of 6GWorld.
A New Generation of Fibre – Beyond Latency, Behind the Headlines
Last week BT issued a press release about its trials of hollow core fibre. 6GWorld spoke to Professor Andrew Lord, BT’s Head of Optical Research, to dig behind the headlines and uncover a wide variety of implications for 6G networks and their providers.
