What Makes 6G Technology Different, What Can We Expect?

Mobile networks will evolve from connecting people to linking everything around us. While the world is still deploying 5G, the next generation of mobile internet has arrived. As a matter of fact, we have reached a generational inflection point in networking. After generations such as 5G and 4G, the sixth generation of wireless technology, referred to as 6G, is forthcoming. Besides rapid development in mobile connectivity, there has been growing curiosity regarding having a more advanced alternative. The 6G network will be faster and include next-generation technology and intelligence to enable users to have a truly immersive, enhanced experience. This next-generation technology is supposed to revolutionize the way wireless communications are being made and targeted for the attention of people worldwide.

Tilak Raj Dua, Director General, Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA), says, "The country is already laying the groundwork for 6G technology. PM Modi released the Bharat 6G vision document, which emphasizes affordability, sustainability, and ubiquity, showcasing India's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements".

What Can 6G Do for Virtual World?

While most companies remain confined to traditional office settings, a large number encourage virtual settings and provide an opportunity to work from home. This reduces the overheads of the companies and provides the employees with the convenience of working from home. Remote work and increased communication have made the demand for fast and reliable internet always present. The introduction of 6G might be very promising in changing both communication and remote work by offering ultra-fast upload and download speeds to the user. Also, the advanced intelligence of 6G would have the ability to anticipate user needs, streamline tasks, and reduce times and efforts to make it more efficient.

How Will the 6G Platform Redefine Service Offerings?

In the digital context, a platform is a product upon which other products or services can be developed. Typically, a platform business enables sharing, application development, or content creation, or offering a service that meets a particular need. The 6G platform aims at expanding the role of the network beyond conventional communication services to include support for a wide range of applications that are at the heart of digital transformation. Applications experience the network capabilities at better, increased access through the service application programming interfaces provided by the 6G platform, thereby meeting the high demands of applications on communications and infrastructure at a new, totally different level. This brings about new opportunities, both in services and customer relationships that could potentially be monetized by differentiated services for communication service providers. The 6G platform extends the monetization opportunities established with 5G.

It is also expected that the future 6G platform should be extended beyond traditional communication services supported by the network toward various needs of application arising in the digital transformation, with easy access for application service providers to network resources and a wide range of service application programming interfaces. Further improvement in the consumer experience and new opportunities arising for communication service providers beyond simple data transport are targeted. New opportunities for monetization, therefore, will be created further up the value chain.

Is 6G a Necessity for the Future?

In fact, the newly built 6G network will make communication services even better in rural areas, enabling them to renew their industrial processes. By applying 6G technology, with the better use of artificial intelligence, both people and businesses can work more easily and automate their tasks that are too dull. For the remote workers, this means an efficient work-from-home experience; employers would not need to invest a lot in renting offices, yet still be certain that the job will be completed by their teams. With these transformative benefits, little wonder that 6G Internet has the whole world abuzz with excitement.

6G stands at the cusp of a revolution that will change the face of technology. Think of a world where driverless cars whizz by, undisturbed, through smart cities, and where virtual and augmented reality are closer to real-life experience than ever. Thanks to AI and machine learning under the tie of 6G, these things of the future move closer to being actuality, with connectivity entering a whole new dimension. What's really exciting about 6G is how it's going to integrate a few of those leading-edge technologies, deep learning and big data analytics. This could open up unexplored ways of tapping into and analyzing really massive data streams.

Also, the interplay between 6G and high-performance computing can give edge computing a run for its money. With 6G able to handle large volumes of data exchanged between devices in the IoT with high efficiency, it may grease the wheel for a smoother, wiser digital transition. The real potential for 6G will be increasingly revealed as these other emerging technologies continue to develop. For now, though, it offers up an intriguing glimpse of a future in which these innovations aren't just possible but practical.

Wrapping It UP!

We are not developing 6G for its own sake! As new technologies and applications are pushing the demands on the network, 6G needs to be designed for needs and not to invent new needs. If thoughtfully developed, 6G can attract significant cross-industry investment, drive innovation, bring about more widespread adoption, and trigger the next wave of disruptive technologies. More importantly, it could unlock new value beyond the connectivity layer-value that finally can be tapped into by telecommunications companies.
