Presentation
Although we are still at the beginning of the 5G story, the first thoughts about the next generation of network technology have started. This talk will consider the on-going European efforts in 5G research, why we need to start considering beyond 5G and how Europe is already preparing for research in to 6G. The talk will outline a new initiative, the Smart Networks and Services Partnership (SNS) to secure European leadership in the development and deployment of next generation network technologies and services, while accelerating European’s industry digitization.
