Samsung has shared exciting details about its upcoming 6G mobile network, set to launch in 2030. Back in 2020, the company outlined its vision for 6G, and recently, it provided more insights into its development plans.
In a new whitepaper titled “AI-Native and Sustainable Communication,” Samsung revealed that its 6G network will integrate cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology into telecommunications systems. The goal is to significantly enhance the quality of networks, improving the user experience of future users.
“We are focusing our 6G research efforts on AI-enabled communication technologies and sustainable networks,” said Charlie Zhang, Senior Vice President of Samsung Research’s Advanced Communication Research Center (ACRC). “As the telecom industry accelerates 6G standardization, Samsung will develop technologies that align with market demands.”
The whitepaper details the expected capabilities of 6G and its potential to transform connectivity. It highlights five key services that will benefit from 6G, including immersive XR (for entertainment, healthcare, and science), digital twins (virtual replicas of physical objects for security), massive communications (continuous connectivity between sensors and machines), ubiquitous connectivity (expanding service areas and interoperability), and fixed wireless access (wireless connectivity).
All of these services will be more effective with AI technologies, which will help reduce telecom costs, improve energy efficiency, and extend service accessibility, ultimately enhancing the future user experience.
The rise of AI technologies and streaming services has already led to a significant increase in mobile data traffic. To manage this growing traffic and improve the user experience in future mobile communications, Samsung emphasizes the need for technological advancements.
Samsung expects the full development of 6G technology to be completed by 2030, setting the stage for a revolutionary shift in mobile communication.
