DoT to chart out roadmap for 6G technology

Even though 5G is yet to be launched in India, the government has already started preparing for 6G technology. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is organising a webinar on February 24 to analyse the technical requirements and challenges to introduce 6G in the country.

The webinar, to be addressed by senior DoT officials — including the member (technology), the member (services), an IIT Madras professor, and a senior Reliance Jio official — will deliberate on standardisation of 6G, probable use cases, opportunities and challenges in the present ecosystem, and strategising for 6G in India.

The DoT is attempting to outline an overall framework of 6G and to provide directional guidance for the subsequent 6G research.
