Always Innovating: A look Ahead at 6G
As automation surges and the uses of virtual reality expand, the need for faster, more secure communication has grown. Robotic surgery, tel-a-doc services, online meetings, all these technologies are being implemented in new and ever more powerful ways. But each new implementation also strains the available processing power and existing communication channels.
Hyperconnectivity, the trend towards online work and communication has been fueled by both technical and social trends. Entire companies and even industries have moved to online working. And after the workday is over, people switch from video calls to online gaming. From virtual reality games to massively multiplayer immersive experiences, participation in online games has skyrocketed. People no longer come together at an office building to work or at a sports stadium to watch a game. They go online, in millions of homes, to meet colleagues, drive virtual race cars, or cheer on their favorite rock stars at a virtual concert.
