What will 6G really look like?

This is one of the most widely discussed questions across the global ICT industry.

According to the White Paper, 6G represents an evolution beyond 5G, expanding connectivity from people and devices to intelligent agents, enabling a transition from massive connectivity to intelligent connectivity. It will serve as a critical bridge between the physical world and the digital-virtual world, continuously improving quality of life, transforming production models, and supporting the long-term vision of ubiquitous intelligent connectivity and digital twins.

To better understand this vision, it is helpful to examine several key aspects of 6G.

Built on 5G, Yet Moving Beyond It

The White Paper clearly states that 6G is not a disruptive reset, but a systematic upgrade built upon the technological, architectural, and commercial foundations of 5G.

This continuity means that the maturity of 5G deployment and applications will play a crucial role in accelerating the realization of 6G. In other words, a strong 5G ecosystem is the foundation for a confident transition to 6G.

“Intelligent Connectivity” as a Core Evolution

Compared with “massive connectivity,” the concept of “intelligent connectivity” highlights a defining feature of 6G:

the deep integration of communications, artificial intelligence, and computing power.

In the 6G era, intelligence will become an intrinsic capability of the network itself, enabling sensing, decision-making, and autonomous collaboration to support complex scenarios such as smart cities, intelligent manufacturing, and autonomous systems.

Enabling Deep Digital Transformation

Beyond connecting the physical world, 6G aims to become a fundamental enabler of digital twins and cyber-physical integration.

By supporting real-time modeling and seamless interaction between physical and digital environments, 6G will unlock new experiences and value propositions that clearly distinguish it from previous generations of mobile communications.

Key Service Domains and Enabling Technologies

Driven by trends toward immersion, intelligence, and ubiquitous coverage, the White Paper identifies eight major service domains for 6G:

1. Cloud-based XR

2. Holographic communications

3. Sensory interconnection

4.Intelligent interaction

5. Integrated communication and sensing

6.Inclusive intelligence

7. Digital twins

8. Global coverage

Some of these applications, such as holographic communication and sensory interconnection, require entirely new technological breakthroughs, while others—like cloud XR and digital twins—are extensions of concepts that emerged during the 4G and 5G eras, ready to scale with 6G’s enhanced capabilities.

The White Paper also outlines ten potential key technologies for 6G, including:

1. Advanced wireless air interfaces and new physical dimensions of transmission

2. Innovative spectrum utilization and integrated sensing and communication

3. Distributed network architectures

4. Computing-aware and deterministic networks

5. Integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networking

6. Built-in network security

Spectrum Evolution Toward Higher Frequencies

In terms of spectrum strategy, the White Paper emphasizes expansion into higher frequency bands while efficiently utilizing low-, mid-, and high-band spectrum resources:

1. Low-frequency bands will remain strategic assets for wide-area coverage

2. Millimeter-wave spectrum will play a more prominent role in 6G

3. Terahertz bands will support short-range, ultra-high-capacity scenarios
