6G

The global cellular industry has formally entered the next phase of its evolution. Standardization on 6G is now underway at the 3GPP. What was previously a future-looking vision is transitioning into structured requirements, architectural studies and the foundation of the first normative specifications.  For cable operators, particularly those expanding wireless footprints through mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) models, citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) deployments and […]

The wireless cellular communication industry has always pushed boundaries. Waves of mobile-network generations — or Gs — have introduced a multitude of features, capabilities and improvements that have led to today’s 5G networks. Although 5G provides substantial improvements and serves multiple modern use cases, the industry is already discussing the key enabling technologies and requirements for 6G, […]

Every decade, a new generation of mobile technologies, known as “G,” is developed, along with its own set of capabilities. Recently, the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) unveiled its IMT-2030/6G vision, which outlines capabilities of the 6G network built on top of its earlier IMT-2020/5G vision. The initial standards for the IMT-2030/6G vision are expected to […]
