Mobile communication is an integral part of the modern world. This POSTnote would provide an overview of the next stage of the evolving mobile communication network, 6G, building on POST’s previous briefings on 5G Technology (2019) and the UK Broadband Infrastructure (2015). The work aims to explain the technical features and capabilities expected from 6G and how it is likely to differ from 5G once implemented. The POSTnote would also consider what new applications it may enable, and the likely barriers that may need to be addressed before release, such as ensuring that suitable radio spectrum is available.
