6G IA “Vision and Societal Challenges Work Group” have published a new White Paper describing a ‘European Vision for the 6G Network Ecosystem’.

This White Paper covers key areas related to 6G research from a technical, societal, policy and business perspective providing a vision for the future mobile networks.

The White Paper explains how 6G is expected to play a key role in the evolution of the society towards the 2030’s, as the convergence between the digital, physical and personal worlds will increasingly become a reality. Furthermore, 6G will support the European Green Deal’s objective of reaching climate neutrality for Europe by 2050. This and other objectives of 6G will also greatly contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Dr. Colin Willcock, Chairman of the Board of the 6G IA, stated, “At this critical time, as research beyond 5G is starting around the world, this white paper is an important document on the road to 6G. [It] encapsulates the European view on what 6G should be and indicates the direction of how we can get there”.
