Whitepaper Six Questions about 6G


Although 5G mobile technology is still ramping up, research and development of 6G have already begun. To ensure that all relevant stakeholders in Bavaria are involved in the research and development of 6G at an early stage, the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy (StMWi) has launched the "Thinknet 6G" initiative at Bayern Innovativ.

Network technology must support and accelerate the transition to a better and more sustainable world. 6G will expand the capacity and speed of the networks further to enable applications with significantly higher networking requirements, such as realtime digital twins, full autonomous driving, or personal Body Area Networks (BAN). 6G moves the focus from machines to human beings and to their interaction with the environment around them, by supporting highly available, reliable, and secure communication with a dynamic, intelligent infrastructure.

In cooperation with the MÜNCHENER KREIS , Thinknet 6G has prepared the whitepaper Six Questions about 6G in which the most important facts about 6G have been compiled.
