The deployment of commercial 6G networks is unlikely to happen until the 2030s, yet a large numbers of organisations (nearly 400 at the latest count) are already investing billions of dollars in research and development.
This report provides a framework to show how 6G visions are coalescing, how the ecosystem is developing to crystallise those visions, and to illustrate the R&D efforts being initiated around the world.
Questions answered in this report
- What will 6G look like? What will it bring in addition to 5G?
- How much investment is going into 6G R&D?
- Which types of organisation are investing in 6G R&D?
- Which technologies and concepts are receiving the most attention and investment?
- Where are gaps emerging between 6G visions and the R&D being undertaken?
Who should read this report
- Vendors should read this report to understand how their own research fits with the visions and technologies being developed elsewhere.
- Operators should read this report to help them to understand how their networks might evolve, what opportunities 6G might bring and what technology changes might be required.
- Governments should read this report to help them understand how to support 6G technology developments in their own countries.
- Research organisations should read this report to help them guide their own R&D efforts, and ensure they are relevant for 6G.
