The next steps towards 6G networks

Panel Discussion

As part of our new series ‘Defining 6G Networks’, TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels is joined by a panel of industry experts to discuss the findings of our four reports in which we took a comprehensive look at what the industry wants from 6G. We cover the key takeaways from the submissions to the 3GPP 6G Workshop in March, identifying areas of consensus amongst stakeholders as well as areas in which opinions differ. We map out the standardisation process over the next five years and discuss the next steps for the telecom industry as it looks to define the mobile networks that will deliver the next generation of services.

In this fourth and final report of the series, we consolidate our findings from the 223 submissions to the 3GPP 6G workshop and present our analysis of the collective response towards 6G standardisation. We also take a detailed look at the ITU and 3GPP standards processes to explain how the industry has arrived at this stage and what to expect over the next five-year period. The report includes some of the key milestones and events that will occur during the process. We also take a look at the most important success factors that have emerged from the 6G workshop submissions and highlight the key indicators for industry readiness.

• What are telecoms stakeholders trying to achieve with future 6G networks?
• What do they really want from the 6G standards?
• What are they calling for now – still five years away from the first commercial deployments of next-generation cellular technology?

TelecomTV's exclusive series of reports will help you understand the current landscape and prepare you for deeper engagement with the definition and development of 6G networks.
