NTIA questions whether the current wireless industry workforce will need to be retrained or expanded when 6G is deployed, although until more information is available about non-standardized 6G wireless systems, this question may be difficult for WIA, NATE, or other industry stakeholders to answer. At Connect X in Atlanta last week, panelists in multiple sessions estimated that 5G is deployed in about 50% of the U.S. But the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) wants to get 6G rolling sooner, and the agency is seeking public input to help guide agency policy on the development of next-generation wireless communications technology.…
5G is not just limited to mobile phones: IoT devices, medical equipment, and industrial equipment can connect to the network using technologies such as TDD, network slicing, and beamforming. 5G New Radio (NR) made its long-awaited commercial debut in late 2018. 5G NR (Figure 1) meets the enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) requirements for smartphones, tablets and high-speed wireless hotspots. At the same time, four additional 5G standards that extend the core capabilities of 5G NR are optimized to efficiently support specific device, application and industry requirements. Figure 1.

The country’s telecommunications regulator, IFT, opened public hearings on the 5G spectrum auction on May 7, 2024. Mexico’s 5G auction is facing obstacles as high spectrum fees are deterring operator interest, according to a recent report from GlobalData. The country’s telecommunications regulator, IFT, launched a public call for comments on the spectrum auction on May 7, 2024. The bidding process is scheduled to take place next year and will cover frequencies in the 600 MHz and L-band (1427-1518 MHz) bands reserved for 5G services. Jesus Romo, research director at GlobalData, said: “The proposed auction combines ‘new spectrum’ in L-band and…
summary 6G is inevitable, offering speeds of 1TB/s, and Samsung and Arm are working on parallel processing to process massive amounts of data. The rollout of 6G networks will come sooner than expected, potentially revolutionizing AI capabilities and enabling dense IoT product communications. Samsung and Arm are laying the foundation for 6G through open source projects, leveraging their collective knowledge into the free software base. The smartphone era we enjoy today was made possible with the introduction of 3G networks in 2001. Things really started to pick up when 4G and mobile streaming video began to emerge in 2009. A…
The request for comments focuses on non-spectral aspects of 6G development and timing. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has opened a formal public comment period seeking information on the current development status of the as-yet-unstandardized 6G wireless system to help guide agency policy decisions. “6G will be the next step in the mobile revolution that has brought the internet to billions of people around the world,” said Alan Davidson, Under Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information and Administrator of NTIA. “While we’re still fully understanding the benefits of 5G, it’s not too early to start planning for…
With Taylor Swift’s mega-band hitting the UK and kicking off a string of sold-out stadium shows, venue communities across the country are celebrating the prospect of big revenues, while fans’ mobile connectivity expectations across venues are pushing providers to reach new heights. The three-day concert at Stockholm’s Friends Arena attracted around 150,000 fans from 130 countries, and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce expects visitors to spend more than 40 million euros during the Swedish leg of the Eras Tour, scheduled for May 2024. Additionally, research from communications technology provider Ericsson reveals that arena venues are seeing a 67% increase in…
Shawn Gladwell/Getty ImagesWe’re still in the early 5G era, but Samsung is already working to solve problems that could make the rollout of 6G much more difficult.Samsung Research, the research and development arm of the South Korean technology giant, has partnered with Arm to develop technology to address Parallel Packet Processing (PPP) technology in 6G networks. PPP is a technology that improves data throughput on networks, allowing networks to process more data more efficiently. As part of the collaboration, Samsung and Arm’s efforts will be open-sourced to give the broader technology community access to research and work on improving PPP.I…
Beijing had a density of 52 5G base stations per 10,000 people.
