6G mobile internet will launch in 2030, telecom bosses say, even as 5G adoption remains low
Telecoms executives who spoke to CNBC said the key would be to focus on 5G deployment even as 6G research takes place.
"There is still one step to come before 6G and that's going to be called 5G advanced, which will become available on the market in a couple of years' time," Pekka Lundmark, CEO ofLundmark said that would help improve the experience of technologies like augmented and virtual reality and even to support the flying of drones.At this point, because 6G standards have not been set, there is not really a clear idea of what the technology will look like.
He added that 6G will bring enhanced cybersecurity to the mobile network as well as more artificial intelligence features. "So the standards work is actively taking place in these standards, right now. And there's a certain amount of, you know, figuring out testing and probing on different technologies, a little bit of jockeying for position on what the technology will be," McKeown said in an interview last week.
