Next Horizon: Building the Foundation for 6G

By 2030, the first 6G networks are expected to be commercially deployed, extending today’s 5G Standalone and 5G Advanced capabilities into an AI-native platform that connects an increasingly digitalized cyber-physical world. In this session, Joe Constantine explores how Ericsson’s vision for 6G will deliver not just higher performance, but a programmable “intelligent fabric” that tightly integrates networks, cloud and compute to support massive digital twins, wide-area mixed reality, autonomous mobility and AI-enhanced devices. 

• 6G commercial deployment by 2030 — Building on 5G Standalone and 5G Advanced, 6G will mark the next major leap in network evolution. 

• AI-native by design — 6G is envisioned as an intelligent, programmable platform 

• The "intelligent fabric" — Ericsson's approach tightly integrates networks, cloud, and compute into a unified, programmable infrastructure. 

• Real-world use cases at scale — The platform is designed to enable massive digital twins, wide-area mixed reality, autonomous mobility, and AI-enhanced devices.
