The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has formed a Technology Innovation Group (TIG) on the next frontier, the sixth generation (6G), hoping to take the lead in the development of the technology globally.
- Telecom secretary K Rajaraman will head the initiative as chairperson and the forum aims to create vision and objectives as well as develop a roadmap for research and development (R&D), pre-standardisation, development of applications and products, and action plans for 6G technology .
- The 6G is the sixth generation of wireless technology. A 6G network follows up on 4G and 5G, building on the revamped infrastructure and advanced capacity currently being established on millimeter-wave 5G networks. Using higher-frequency radio bands, it will give networks much faster speeds and lower latency.
- The next generation of technology (6G) is expected to make its first commercial move before 2030.
