While mobile 5G networks and services are becoming increasingly available worldwide, according to industry experts, 6G networks might become commercially available, at least in some parts of the world, by 2030.
A new Global Trends report provides an update about the preparatory works towards 6G – internationally, and across regions.
The report covers:
- Early studies on 6G
- International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendation on 6G: expected usage scenarios for research and innovation
- Regional views on 6G key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Radio spectrum for IMT-2030
- Standardization of 6G technology
- Expected convergence between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks
- Government and industry collaboration on 6G
The research covers 6G-related activities at the international organizations such as the ITU and the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). It also reports on the announced plans and current debates on 6G in China, the EU, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and the US.
