It's not too early to prepare for 6G

With 5G still in phased stages of development and deployment, it may seem premature to plan for the next generation of wireless communication technology. But with ambitious goals that build upon the current generation, it's not too early to begin addressing the technological, regulatory, geographical, and educational challenges that will be required to make ubiquitous 6G a reality This next generation of wireless technology is expected to bring even faster speeds, lower latency, and more bandwidth to instantly deliver massive amounts of data to and from more devices across decentralised, intelligent networks. Historically, technology research begins 10-15 years prior to the development of new industrial standards. Like 5G, some of 6G will be an evolution but some will be revolutionary, and taken as a whole, we can expect a step-function increase in technical capability. It envisages a society that by year 2030 is data-driven, enabled by near-instant, unlimited wireless connectivity.
