6G
According to predictions from the University of Sydney , we could see 6G achieve speeds that are up to 100 times faster than 5G – even reaching speeds of 1tb-per-second . But , while network speeds will , naturally , improve markedly with the deployment of 6G , this new era of connectivity also promises to usher in a wealth of new technologies .
“ New technology evolves by leveraging learning from the previous generation of the device or infrastructure , setting additional expectations for future iterations and use cases ,” explains Manish Vyas , the President of Communications Business and CEO of Network Services at Tech Mahindra .
What can we expect 6G to look like ? Although there are no guarantees for what exactly 6G will be able to achieve , we can use our knowledge of previous network evolutions to create reliable guesses .
“ It ’ s hard to predict what 6G will look like , but from our learnings of 5G and open-RAN networks , we know 6G is going to be AI-based , super intelligent , and fully integrated , with ultra-low latency systems and large ecosystems utilising open interfaces ,” outlines Vyas .
“ AI will be an important service and application in 6G . As mobile networks become complex , larger and multi-vendor , optimisation tasks become harder and often impossible to envision as ‘ rules ’,” adds Shamik Mishra , CTO of Connectivity at Capgemini Engineering . “ 6G will leverage
AI / ML at scale for better radio / network design , improved network management , orchestration and resource management .”
Then , alongside the opportunities to deploy new technologies , 6G ’ s neural network capability can create entirely new connectivity solutions , the likes of which we ’ ve never seen before .
“ 6G will go beyond communications by creating a distributed neural network with the ability to integrate physical , biological and cyber systems ,” explains Victor Holmin , Director of Discovery and Innovation at World Wide Technology .
“ This will be done through establishing
