NEW DELHI: The mentions of sixth-generation or ‘6G’ technology in company filings have increased by 32% in 2022 compared to 2019, as companies have started researching to prepare for ‘Beyond 5G’ and ‘6G’ services, research firm GlobalData said on Monday.

“Launch of 5G services has led to more and more companies looking for the next advancement, increasing investment in research and development (R&D) to ensure they are ready for the next wave of technological development. Companies are experimenting on technologies such as Open Radio Access Network (RAN) that will be fundamental if 6G is to be launched by 2030,” said Misa Singh, Business Fundamentals Analyst at GlobalData.
