In this third report, we analysed a total of 78 submission documents from 53 companies, comprising enterprise users, non-terrestrial network (NTN) providers, organisations and research and development (R&D) facilities. These covered the 3GPP 6G Workshop sessions on the overall 6G vision, the radio access network, and the system architecture and core network technology.

The following were identified as some of the key recommendations for industry standardisation:

• Support for verticals with long lifecycles
• Enhanced security and trustworthiness
• NTN integration from day one
• Ubiquitous connectivity
• AI integration and AI native
• Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)
• Energy efficiency and sustainability
• Smooth evolution from 5G

Discover the reasons behind these recommendations and what stakeholders had to say about them, as well as many other important areas. The report highlights the top-10 recommendations from each of the four groups of community participants and their focus areas, and contains a complete directory containing summaries of all submission documents.
