As 5G networks continue to roll out globally, research and development for the next generation of wireless communication—6G—is already underway.
In 2024, early-stage 6G initiatives are focusing on delivering ultra-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and unprecedented levels of connectivity.
While 5G has transformed industries with high-speed data and IoT integration, 6G promises to take this further by enabling seamless communication between humans, machines, and environments in real-time.
The expected introduction of terahertz frequencies in 6G networks will support speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G, opening the door to new technologies like holographic communication, real-time 3D mapping, and advanced AI-driven services.
These advancements will play a critical role in the development of smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences. While commercial deployment of 6G is still years away (likely in the early 2030s), the groundwork being laid in 2024 is shaping the future of global connectivity.
