Go all-in on 6G to unlock AI’s full potential

Try imagining the AI era without ubiquitous high-speed wireless access.

Wireless technology advancements have connected the world’s population, computing devices, and endpoints to facilitate communications, commerce, and connectivity. Yet, leaders in telecommunications firms have continually struggled to produce revenue growth in line with their crucial role in the carriage, delivery, and quality of services associated with wireless networking. They continue to be seen as the pipes—not the fuel—of the information age. This is about to change. With AI at the core of the network design, the network will become intelligent. That is the promise of 6G.

5G, the current high-speed standard, has reached nearly three billion subscribers while operating at peak data rates of 100 to 400 Mb/s. The flow of data across computers, operational technologies (OT), and internet of everything (IoE) devices currently provides reliable data, voice, and video communications.

But that was before the AI era arrived.

This is a watershed moment for telco leaders. With the arrival of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), the possibilities for telcos’ solutions can finally transcend connectivity. With 6G, they can provide intelligent networks offering advanced resilience, boosts in traffic throughput (peak speed of 50 to 200Gb/s), and tailored signal quality control, promising new customer experiences while creating fresh revenue streams for operators.
