The Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games 2032 could be the first significant event to benefit from 6G, the next generation of mobile internet after 5G. Although 5G networks are still being rolled out globally, executives from some of the world’s largest telecommunications and technology firms have said that 6G is likely to launch in 2030. Work on 6G standards is currently underway, with completion expected later this decade and rollout expected in the early 2030s.
The topic of 6G was discussed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. There, the global telecommunications companies gave their views on the latest technology. However, some executives sounded notes of caution. Ha Min Yong, chief development officer of SK Telecom, stated that 5G is not yet mature enough to discuss 6G. Despite this, work on 6G standards is being undertaken through organizations like 3GP. The organization contributed toward the development of 5G.
While 5G has been positioned as a network that could underpin new technologies like driverless cars or unpiloted air taxis, its uptake among consumers remains low. Strategy Analytics reports that just one in seven people worldwide use a 5G smartphone. Despite this, 5G networks have already been rolled out in countries like China, South Korea, and the United States. The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are upcoming international multi-sport events to take place in 2032. The event is scheduled to take place from 23 July to 8 August 2032. It will be the third Summer Games to be held in Australia. The last two editions took place in 1956 in Melbourne and 2000 in Sydney.
As for 6G, it is still in the research stage, according to Sigve Brekke, Telenor chief executive. While it may look premature to discuss 6G while 5G is still being deployed, telecommunications and technology companies need to stay ahead of the curve in developing new technologies to remain competitive. The development of 6G will require significant investment and collaboration between telecommunications and technology companies, governments, and researchers. It is likely to offer even faster speeds and lower latency than 5G, making it possible to support new applications like holographic communication and real-time virtual reality. Despite the potential benefits of 6G, it will take time to develop and deploy the network globally. In the meantime, the focus will remain on rolling out 5G networks and exploring new applications for this technology.
