The world of telecoms is gearing up for 6G, the next generation of mobile networks expected by 2030. Promising more than just telecommunications, 6G aims to incorporate features like sensing and massive IoT, ushering in Smart Networks and Services (SNS). This raises questions about the actual need for 6G – is it solving a real market gap, or is it a solution in search of a problem?

A panel of experts from various telecom sectors, organized by 6G-IA, explored these questions, considering diverse stakeholder needs, problems requiring 6G solutions, potential pitfalls, and lessons from previous network generations.

Speakers:

Colin Willcock, Chairman of the Board, 6G-IA

Raffaele de Peppe, 6GIA Board Member & Vice Chair, TIM

Tonko Obuljen, President of the Council, HAKOM

Uwe Baeder, Director International Relations ITU/UN, Rohde & Schwarz
