TALK
6G isn’t merely an idea. It’s a framework of technologies that is quickly becoming reality. 6G could alter every aspect of our lives. 6G will not just build on existing technologies and systems, it will expand and transform what a network can do. We believe it will liberate human potential, inclusively and sustainably.
Traditional metrics such as capacity, throughput, reliability, and latency will continue to be important. But unlike previous Gs, 6G will go beyond. Sustainability, trustworthiness, and digital inclusion will become key value drivers for the 6G era.
Nishant Batra described many of the key technologies Nokia and its partners are envisioning for future 6G systems. These technologies include network-as-a-sensor, which will introduce new spatial and contextual awareness capabilities, and the AI-native air interface, which will give radios the ability to learn.
