In this closing session of DSP Leaders World Forum 2025, experts from Juniper Networks, Rakuten Symphony, the NGMN Alliance and the University of Cambridge reflect on what the telecom industry must do today to prepare for 6G. The panel challenges the pace and structure of traditional ‘G-cycles’, calling for greater collaboration with vertical industries, a stronger focus on coverage and simplicity, and a more agile innovation ecosystem. Topics include network sensing, AI at the edge, energy and infrastructure readiness, and how telcos can avoid repeating the mistakes of 5G while embracing real-world use cases and faster feedback loops.
