4G / 5G / 6G

Mobile networks have traditionally been designed primarily around communication, with sensing handled through separate technologies and systems. That separation is beginning to change as the development of 6G introduces the possibility of using wireless infrastructure not only to transmit...

The development of 6G is bringing artificial intelligence closer to the fundamental design of mobile networks. While earlier generations have increasingly used AI and machine learning to optimise specific functions, the emerging 6G approach is considering intelligence as something...

Mobile connectivity is increasingly moving beyond the limits of conventional terrestrial infrastructure. As networks expand toward remote, maritime and otherwise difficult-to-reach areas, satellite and other non-terrestrial systems are becoming more closely integrated with cellular technologies. This is creating a...

The evolution of mobile networks is increasingly being shaped by the need to deliver higher capacity, greater intelligence and broader connectivity without allowing energy consumption to rise at the same pace. This is becoming particularly important as the industry...

The development of 6G is increasingly being shaped by technologies and capabilities that are already advancing through 5G-Advanced. Rather than representing a complete break from existing mobile networks, the next generation is being developed through a sequence of standards,...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming increasingly embedded in the operation of mobile networks as 5G-Advanced develops. The focus is moving beyond using AI to analyse network information toward applying machine learning directly to functions that influence network...

MasOrange and Ericsson have carried out 6 GHz RAN testing on the Spanish operator's radio access network as part of preparations for potential future 6G deployment. The test explored how the 6 GHz spectrum band could be used within...
