GSMA 6G Community

Shaping the next generation of intelligent and open networks

About the community

The GSMA 6G Community is dedicated to advancing the future of communication and automation. Focused on exploring and addressing the dynamic technology landscape of global R&D, standardisation, and trials, the community will work collaboratively with industry leaders to identify gaps and opportunities to drive progress into future networks.

Our core workstreams

Shape next generation networks, together

The community focus spans reference architectures and cloud-native, service-based design, advanced radio and RAN technologies (ISAC, Massive MIMO, RIS, DAS, ultra-wideband), and spectrum innovation across mid-band, mmWave, and sub-THz.

In the realm of AI and intelligent automation, we investigate cutting-edge concepts like Agentic AI and intent-based networking for 6G, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, while championing interoperability, APIs, and open interfaces to foster multi-vendor collaboration and ecosystem openness.

By combining these efforts, the community seeks to deliver impactful, scalable solutions that enable future networks meet diverse and evolving needs.
