As the world prepares for the next generation of wireless technology, 6G networks are expected to bring groundbreaking advancements in connectivity, intelligence, and efficiency. Building on the foundation of 5G, 6G will introduce ultra-fast data speeds (up to 1 Tbps), near-zero latency, and AI-driven network optimization, enabling new and transformative applications.

With MWC25 now behind us, it’s time to reflect on the key takeaways from one of the most important events in the telecom industry. What were the major themes? What new innovations stood out? And most importantly, what do these trends tell us about the future of connectivity for the rest of the year?

In this GSMA DXAF virtual seminar, GSMA Intelligence will provide a recap of the biggest insights from MWC25 before shifting focus to a topic that was notably absent from much of the conversation: 6G. Building on discussions from the 3GPP’s 6G workshop in Incheon and the Cambridge 5G Symposium, we will discuss how the vision for future 6G networks and services is beginning to take shape.

While 6G is still in its early stages, key questions remain: What technological advancements will define it? What challenges must the industry overcome? And how will it impact businesses and society as a whole? This seminar will attempt to discuss these critical issues, offering insights into the evolving 6G landscape and what it means for the telecom industry moving forward.
