6G: Preparing for What’s Coming in 2030
Even though 5G mobile networks are not yet fully rolled out worldwide, researchers and regulators are already developing and examining the technologies that will constitute 6G. Since the advent of mobile broadband, demand for bandwidth and download speeds has increased steadily, as users have come to rely on mobile networks for ever more intensive uses in consumer, enterprise, and industrial settings.
This Guidehouse Insights report examines the different technologies that currently constitute 6G research efforts, as well as some of the use cases that will be enabled by next-generation networks. It also examines the possibility of a fragmented standard if stakeholders do not cooperate during the pre-standard phase, and offers key recommendations for mobile companies, developers, and governments in the years leading to a 6G launch.
