What will 6G networks look like? How will they differ from 5G? What are the 6G use cases? What are the implications for regulators? Do we need policy changes to harness the potential of the THz bands?

It’s early in the research process but our panel of experts for 6G: Visions, Challenges and Opportunities can start to give some answers to those questions.

Another theme is 6G’s deeper connection to wider policy goals, far beyond anything seen in earlier mobile technology generations. These include sustainable development, cybersecurity and a diversity of suppliers.

The speakers and topics are:

• Opportunities and technical challenges for 6G in mmWave and THz
  Professor Tommy Svensson, Chalmers University, Sweden
• Progress in defining the scope of 6G
  Dr Marja Matinmikko-Blue, University of Oulu, Finland
• The European Commission’s perspective on 6G
  Bernard Barani, Deputy Head of Unit, DG CONNECT
• Sharing challenges with passive services above 100 GHz
  Michael Marcus, mmWave Coalition, USA
• Licensing for 6G services
  Professor Erik Bohlin, Chalmers University, Sweden

6G: Visions, Challenges and Opportunities is being held on Wed 29 July at 4 pm UK time/ 5 pm CET / 11 am EDT/ 8 am PDT.
