The US is losing the 5G race, or has it lost it already? Let's check the facts: 1) SA has been deployed in China from 5G Day 1, but still struggling to find a killer app in the Western world. 2) There are no US infrastructure vendors *but* many US companies hold significant IPR in 5G, including Apple, InterDigital, Inc., Intel Corporation and Qualcomm. 3) 5G is mostly a consumer technology in the Western world, but used extensively for enterprise applications in China. Most important question of all: Does it matter that the Western world is lagging behind in 5G? No it does not. 5G (and WiFi in fact) are small pieces of the enterprise transformation and digitization journey and governments shouldn't obsess about losing the race. Devices - more than networks - dictate the success of any new generation and *that* supply chain is truly global. https://lnkd.in/eTFavPZS

NEW Roughly four years ago, during the boom time in 5G, wireless vendors painted a pretty picture of 6G. In 2020, Ericsson said 6G would create an "Internet of the senses" that would essentially allow users to digitally transport themselves all over the world. Also, in 2020, Samsung hinted that the technology would support holograms like the "Help us, Obi-Wan" one from Princess Leia in Star Wars. And, in 2019, many industry players assumed 6G communications would expand into the Terahertz (THz) spectrum bands, those that are far, far higher than even the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands deployed in a handful of locations in the early days of 5G. But today, an industry in a chilly 5G spending freeze with few growth opportunities sees 6G a little differently. "6G, is it a revolution or evolution?" asked AT&T's Brian Daly, AVP of wireless technology and standards for the operator, during a keynote presentation at the Network X Americas event. Network X is run by Informa, which also owns Light Reading. A fresh look at 6G During his presentation, Daly called for a slightly different approach to network upgrades in general. "The cellular industry is today often driven by generation cycles, also known as the Gs. These Gs come with an associated forklift upgrade," he said. "We need to develop a new continuous integration and continuous delivery model, or CI/CD, one that emphasizes both continuous innovation as well as continuous disruption. Today, the focus on network evolution will be about leveraging cloud, artificial intelligence and spectrum instead of waveform change and network architecture change."

Have you heard about 5G-Advanced? 🤔 The standards body 3GPP is already working on creating future 6G network specifications, building on the foundations of 5G. Research organizations are exploring the potential capabilities and use cases of 6G, which is expected to be commercialized before 2030. The opportunities presented by 6G will have a significant impact on societies and businesses in 2030, advancing digitization and integrating new features. However, before we reach that point, enhancements to traditional 5G networks are crucial to handling the continuous increase in data traffic. 📈 5G-Advanced is not just a mid-cycle upgrade; it brings clear performance upgrades and supports new use cases compared to the initial iterations of 5G. It is designed to enable wider use cases and enhance radio performance, driving network performance towards higher bandwidth, lower latency, and greater reliability. ✅ This will open up opportunities for applications such as extended reality (XR), gaming, video streaming, remote working, and virtual training. It's an exciting time for the evolution of mobile communications, and staying informed about these advancements will be crucial for businesses and individuals alike. I believe that these advancements will not only revolutionize the way we communicate but also open up new possibilities for various industries. I look forward to seeing how these technologies will shape the future. 👀 #5G #5GAdvanced #6G #Performance #FutureTech

NEW A North American trade association is offering a very early look at how 6G networks might perform in the US. The group speculates that average 6G cell site capacity could reach 18 Gbit/s, compared with 800 Mbit/s on 5G networks. But the firm cautions that early 6G coverage might trail the coverage provided by 4G and 5G networks. The new 26-page report from the 5G Americas Latin America & Caribbean trade group centers on spectrum in the 7GHz band. That band has been identified by the Biden administration as a focus area. It's also spectrum fingered by big 5G vendors like Ericsson and Nokia as the possible "home" for 6G. "The 7-8 GHz spectrum will potentially be a cornerstone of 6G technology, enabling faster, more reliable networks that are essential for the next wave of innovation in AI, smart cities, and immersive experiences," said Viet Nguyen, of 5G Americas, in a release from the association.

Great post, Monica Collier, The Fifth Generation. The buildout of NextG networks will provide some great benefits to the consumer market, but they will not be the ones paying for it! Consumers are already drowning in data from social media and streaming video networks. Increasing the data flow would only move us further away from getting back to Building in the physical world and interacting with each other. The core benefits of NextG were not designed for consumer devices and people, just like 3G and 4G networks for smartphones & applications, not for voice. NextG is engineered to activate M2M networks supporting Artificial Intelligence, autonomous systems, intelligent transportation, spatial computing, and many others at the edge. Most importantly, it secures data for people, cities, and governments, creating millions of new jobs and economic growth. https://lnkd.in/g295nrek NVIDIA Jensen Huang $100 TRILLION MARKET: https://lnkd.in/exXzcJSt National sovereignty and global productivity will go to the nation that deploys the Intelligent Infrastructure enabling Industry 4.0.
