Mobile connectivity has come a long way since 1979 when NTT initiated the first generation of cellular networks in Tokyo. 2G and 3G quickly followed 1G. These were voice and text communication networks. The more recent 4G and 5G networks enabled advanced content and massive data consumption.
By 2023, after more than four decades, mobile operators, telcos, and providers will be back at the design table, shaping the next generation of mobile networks: 6G. The term 6G refers to the sixth generation of mobile networks. Why do networks change? Technology advancements and the amount of data that must be transferred from data centers to devices have increased exponentially. Furthermore, networks improve in more ways than one. They reduce latency or delay as well as energy consumption during data transmissions while improving reliability, security, and performance.
5G networks will be widely available worldwide by 2023. The virtualization of network hardware, which is now operating in the cloud with Open RAN standards, is making deployment easier. However, 5G is expected to become obsolete soon as the digital and physical worlds integrate with virtual and augmented reality. Furthermore, the Internet of Things and Industrial IoT is gaining traction to support the fourth industrial revolution.
These new technologies, as well as the volume of data that must be instantly communicate
