Paving The Way For 6G Commercialization

As the fifth generation (5G) of wireless technology ushers in a new era of connectivity, it is forever changing the way future generations and technology will coexist. Technologists envision an even more expansive vision for 6G, with ubiquitous and near-instantaneous connectivity that can bridge the human, physical, and digital worlds. Realizing these ambitious goals will require not only the development of new technologies, but even more so, new ways of collaborating across the ecosystem.

6G will leverage high data throughputs of 100 Gbps to perhaps as high as 1 Tbps, low latency, and artificial intelligence to improve the human experience, make infrastructure more sustainable, and businesses more efficient. Key drivers for 6G include bringing connectivity to rural areas, intelligent monitoring to improve energy and transportation efficiencies, and enabling immersive remote presence, digital twins, holographic telepresence, and extended reality.
