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."

Panel discussion on "Redefining Sustainability KPIs for 6G Design" at LR Network X Americas with Gabriel Brown, Bhushan Joshi and Thomas Magedanz brought excellent insights about Next G Alliance Green G group's efforts in advancing environmental sustainability in telco networks. Additionally, interesting questions on exciting topics such as Key Values (KVs), Key Value Indicators (KVIs), and the paradigms of Observability, Choice, and Circular Economy sparked a discussion on whether these key values could be the revolutionary aspects of 6G compared to previous generations in terms of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. However, it requires a deep brainstorming and collaboration to further develop these concepts into reality allowing us to see technology through the lens of key values.
