6G Industry Overview
The 6G technology market is poised for significant growth, prompting companies to collaborate and devise cohesive strategies to stay competitive in this fiercely contested arena. Such enterprises, sharing a product portfolio and seeking additional resources to meet their goals, often engage in collaborative ventures, known as Joint Venture Programmes. These initiatives facilitate resource sharing and accelerate progress. Notably, the 6G market is dominated by major players making substantial investments in development, with an eye on future commercial deployment.
In November 2022, NTT DoCoMo and South Korea's SK Telecom (SKT) announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing both 5G and 6G cellular technologies. Their collaborative efforts extend to the development of open and virtualized radio access network (RAN) technology. This move aligns with the evolving global landscape as various regions position themselves for the rollout of next-generation cellular technologies.
In November 2022, in a concerted effort to bolster the United Kingdom's wireless communications capabilities, Ericsson committed to establishing a new research team in the country as part of a multi-million-pound investment. Over the next decade, Ericsson plans to inject GBP 10 million into a UK-based program dedicated to 6G research and groundbreaking innovations. This initiative underscores the growing importance of 6G technology on a global scale.
