Fri, 29/05/2026 - 14:00 to 15:00
Location:
Speaker:
Prof. Reinaldo Valenzuela
Affiliation:
Nokia Bell Labs, USA
Synopsis:
6G must address an unprecedented surge in network traffic demand, with 100× more connected devices and data rates up to 10 Tbps, enabling applications such as high resolution AR/VR, digital twins, autonomous vehicle to X systems, drones, robots, and tactile internet services requiring ultra low latency. This talk will outline the 6G vision, key challenges, deployment scenarios, and major technology drivers, with a particular focus on sensing based applications and relevant technological advances.
