Last month’s 6GSymposium brought together 73 speakers from all walks of life to shed light on the commercial and technical paths towards 6G. They covered everything from the evolution of regulation and international competition to new network architectures and the role of new materials – through making money, sustainability and even how to win the battle of ideas.
6G: The Network Of Technology Convergence
Cellular technology evolution across multiple generations has consistently sustained the global economic growth. Each of these generations has uniquely contributed to boosting the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by addressing key industry pain-points and enabling new business opportunities not possible with previous generation networks. 6G will not be an exception here.
