Don’t repeat 5G mistakes with 6G, plead mobile operators
Mobile operators are urging for a smooth transition to 6G networks, emphasizing the need to learn from the challenges faced during the rollout of 5G. The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN) advocates for a unified approach to standardization and migration to avoid market confusion. With 6G expected to be ready by the end of the decade, operators seek to ensure operational efficiency and reduced complexity in network deployment.
- ▪The NGMN emphasizes the importance of a clear migration path to 6G to avoid issues experienced with 5G.
- ▪6G is anticipated to provide data rates of several hundred gigabits per second and sub-millisecond latency.
- ▪Operators want a single drop of specifications for 6G to simplify the rollout process and reduce costs.
