With an estimated arrival around 2030, 6G is expected to finally complete the paradigm shift from store‑and‑forward to compute‑and‑forward. In other words, 6G will bring a much needed holistic management of communication.
Experts contend that 6G is not merely the answer to the disregarded promises of 5G, but it is a new disruptive generation of communication networks.
For example, 6G communication networks will be the first generation of networks with native AI. This means that AI will not merely be an application but an inherent part of the infrastructure, and of the network management and operations.
In 6G technology, the usage of AI will apply for physical, network, and application layers. While for network and application layers the ideas come from existing research in ML and Self‑Organizing Networks (SON)/autonomic networking, the additional novel aspect is the full application of AI within the physical layer.
6G technology is also more aligned with the anticipated explosion of use case applications in the areas of virtual reality and robotics.
With the higher complexity of operations that robots are going to perform, the number of sensors that humans will wear is going to greatly increase.
In fact, the increasing number of sensors allows for finer and more precise assisted operations. These heterogeneous sensors will also imply continuous heterogeneous data collection and transmission to a dedicated intelligent edge within the 6G campus network.
Intelligence will not only be applied for network management and operations but also for robotics training, acting, and deciding in order to better work autonomously or to assist humans.
Consequently, 6G campus networks will represent specialized and local networks of networks, providing high edge computing resources for such massive data handling.

Institutions and government entities in the U.S. have also assiduously put together plans for 6G research and standards. The U.S. is planning to open up 6G frequency spectrum at frequencies between 95 GHz and 3 THz for early research and development, although this will require approval from the Federal Communications Commission FCC for frequencies over 95 gigahertz GHz to 3 THz.
Then there’s the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency that coordinates wireless standards. It was created in 2018 to find and research post-5G tech that could surface in 2030 and further into the future.
6G projected benefits are considerable, from doctors remotely performing surgery with robots without dangerous lag time to high-resolution holograms attending business meetings.
Meanwhile, 6G could bring factories the necessary bandwidth and speed to support increased production from automated, cloud-connected machines.
Bottom line: Even though the commercialization of 6G may be a decade away, that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Organizations that want to get a jump on this exciting new technology can learn much more in courses offered by Tonex.
