1. What is 6G?

6G is the next generation of mobile networks, expected around 2030. Target speeds exceed 1 Tbps with sub-0.1 ms latency. 6G will be AI-native ā€” artificial intelligence is built into every layer of the network.

Still Research Phase: 6G is not yet standardized. IMT-2030 frameworks are being defined by ITU and 3GPP as of 2025.

2. Key Technologies

  • Terahertz (THz) ā€“ 0.1ā€“10 THz spectrum for extreme bandwidth
  • AI-native networking ā€“ ML-driven resource management at every layer
  • ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) ā€“ Radar + comms in one signal
  • RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces) ā€“ Smart reflectors to reshape wireless propagation
  • NTN integration ā€“ Deep satellite/UAV integration from day one
