“No one can whistle a symphony.
It takes a whole orchestra to play it.”
Halford Luccock (1885 – 1960)
6G Use Cases and Applications
6G will unlock immersive experiences, robotics, connected healthcare, and industrial automation — turning visionary concepts into real-world opportunities that transform industries.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
AI/ML will be embedded natively into the 6G air interface and networks, driving smarter resource allocation, optimized performance, and new levels of efficiency across the wireless ecosystem.
Integrated Communication and Sensing
By merging communication and sensing, 6G networks will not only connect devices but also perceive their environment — enabling applications through smart infrastructure.
6G is the next evolutionary leap in wireless communication, building on 5G/5G-Advanced by adding native support for artificial intelligence and machine learning, integrate wireless communications with sensing into a unified fabric. It will harness new spectrum, embed AI/ML directly into the radio interface, and fully enable use cases like immersive application through extended reality, digital twins, and seamless human-machine collaboration. More than faster connectivity, 6G will become critical infrastructure — shaping industries, sustainability, and society itself.
Spectrum for 6G – FR3: Will the upper mid-band become the new FR2/mmWave?
The history of mobile networks shows that spectrum decisions shape both technical progress and business outcomes. In 5G, millimeter-wave frequencies (mmWave or FR2) were marketed as revolutionary, only to stumble when physics and deployment economics caught up. As we look toward 6G, FR3 — the upper midband between 7.125 and 24.25 GHz — has become the prime candidate. The question is simple but loaded: will FR3 succeed where FR2 faltered, or is the industry setting itself up for the same cycle of hype and disappointment?
O-RAN: The Seventh Year Itch – The 5G promise, a reality check and the 6G dream
This article series explores how O-RAN has evolved in the seven years since the O-RAN Alliance was formed back in 2018, evaluating the differences between its architectural ambitions and what has been achieved so far as the industry moves toward 6G. It reviews significant industry developments through late 2025, including vendor strategies, plugfests and trials, operator rollouts, and emerging initiatives around AI-native RAN architectures that aim to shape the next generation of wireless networks.
