The 6G technology market is expected to facilitate large improvements in the areas of imaging, presence technology and location awareness.

Working in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), the 6G computational infrastructure will be able to identify the best place for computing to occur. This includes decisions about data storage, processing and sharing.

Although there is no specific 6G Standard yet, there are technologies already in development that can be used to achieve 6G’s benefits.

For example, the primary conduit for 6G technology will be the terahertz frequency. 6G is expected to utilize frequencies up to 3 THz which will result in massive bandwidth availability.

It’s possible that 6G networks will top out at speeds of one terabit per second (Tbps) on internet devices.  That would be about 100 times faster than 10 Gbps, the hypothetical top speed of 5G.

This incredible bump in speed is due to 6G tapping into the higher radio band in the spectrum of 95GHz to 3THz (terahertz). In other words, 6G will be driven by terahertz waves, also known as submillimeter waves.

Improved antenna technology is also being developed to support the use of THz frequencies. It’s commonly known that Massive MIMO technology (developed for mm-Wave 5G) needs to be improved. This may include Metamaterial based Antennas and RF Front-End and Orbital Angular Momentum technologies.

Additionally, ongoing work continues in network topology in preparation for 6G. One of the trends that continues to make progress in the evolution of network topology is the use of non-terrestrial network components like satellite and High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS).

6G is being designed to be significantly more energy-efficient, turning off components and scaling down capacity when the demand is lower. Energy efficiency is a major criterion in 6G along with the other metrics such as capacity, peak data rate, latency, and reliability.

6G will also call for a change in the way communication networks are designed. Multiple key requirements must be reconciled: serve the massively growing traffic and the exploding numbers of devices and markets, while also accomplishing the highest possible standards regarding performance, energy efficiency and strong security, enabling sustainable growth in a trustworthy way.

6G technology is also expected to promote sustainability in a variety of ways.

By enabling faster and lower cost per bit connectivity, it would be able to support data collection and closed-loop control of numerous appliances. The data can be analyzed using sophisticated tools to improve energy efficiency in industries.

The advanced multi-sensory telepresence that is created with very high data rates will reduce the need for travel through the introduction of multi-modal mixed reality telepresence and remote collaboration.

Bottom line: 6G technology is picking up traction. Even though 6G is still several years away from becoming a functional technology, some vendors are already investing in it in hopes of getting a leg up on their competition.

Participants also learn how 6G technology is expected to be designed to meet the revolutionary needs of our society, integrated into the 5G network architecture and related wired and wireless communications systems.

It still may be several years away, but many in the telecommunications industry expect 6G to satisfy unprecedented requirements and expectations that 5G cannot meet, and that 6G will provide ultimate experiences for all through hyper-connectivity involving humans and everything.

That’s why it’s never too early to get a jump on your competition and learn everything you can right now about 6G technology and its impressive possibilities.

Additionally, participants will be exposed to an insightful look into 5G’s possible future role and how it might be melded into the 6G realm.
