The Business of 6G: Technology, Strategy, ROI
Free Virtual Event | October 7th, 9 AM EST / 2 PM UK
Presented by
The telecoms industry is split. On one side, leaders are heavily investing in 6G R&D, envisioning a more energy-efficient, intelligent and transformative generation of connectivity. On the other, skeptics question the real-world benefits and return on investment—especially as the industry continues to unlock the value of 5G.
Beyond the technical hurdles, making the commercial case for 6G and securing carrier buy-in are major challenges that still need to be addressed.
RCR Wireless News' virtual 6G Forum, taking place live on October 7th, will go beyond the “how” and dive into the critical “why.”
This event will deliver the latest insights into the 6G roadmap—covering cutting-edge research and development, emerging visions for 6G-enabled services and applications and realistic timelines for network deployment.
"Attending the 6G Forum 2024 was an invaluable experience that provided deep insights into the future of wireless technology. The keynote sessions were particularly enlightening, offering perspectives on the latest advancements and industry trends. Additionally, the networking opportunities allowed me to connect with industry leaders and innovators, fostering potential collaborations. I highly recommend the forum to professionals in telecoms."
Ihab Amaireh, 5G Technical Manager, Nokia
Event themes
The Vision
Is the 2030 timeline for 6G deployments realistic and what can be expected between now and then? This section will compare 6G priorities across the USA, EMEA and APAC regions and examine whether global standard harmonization is likely or if regional standards will prevail.
The Spectrum Conundrum
What are the management and allocation plans for spectrum? This section will cover the identification of bands for 6G, developments in the upper mid-band, spectrum sharing strategies and challenges related to the propagation of sub-terahertz spectrum.
6G Network Architectures
What will 6G network architectures actually look like - will networks be open, disaggregated, software- based and AI- native? How do we tackle legacy systems, integration and 6G devices to build sustainable and energy efficient next-gen networks?
Commercializing 6G and Developing Use Cases
What lessons from 5G can be applied or avoided for 6G, and how can the industry prepare to monetize a technology still years away from full deployment? Explore investment strategies, the potential for 6G to close the digital divide and its capabilities beyond speed.
"This was the best event I have ever witnessed for research and advanced engineering in our sector."
