6G Flagship • Government selected flagship activity for 2018 – 2026 with a total volume of 251M€. • Operated by University of Oulu having a team of over 300 researchers in 6G. • Active in building global 6G vision. • Published 13 6G White Papers with an expertgroup of 250 persons from 30 countries. • Download at: 6gchannel.com
Vision for 2030
Our society is data-driven,
enabled by near-instant,
unlimited wireless connectivity.
6G will emerge around 2030 to satisfy the
expectations not met with 5G, as well as, the new ones
fusing AI inspired applications in every field of society
with ubiquitous wireless connectivity.

Value Chains Reformed Every 20-Years
Wireless connectivity is driving major societal changes:
1G - 2G 3G - 4G 5G and beyond
1980s – 2000s – 2020s Billions of Mobile – 2040s Trillions of
Millions of voice users Broadband users connected objects & intelligence
Applications range explodes and new value chains emerge:
Logistics Retail Agriculture Industry 4.0 Health Energy Automotive
5G will be succesfull once the value chains related to key verticals are
throughly understood driving evolution towards new business ecosystems.
Regulation Policy Enabling Future Innovations
Our guess on 5G development made in 2015:
Flexible and innovative
regulation policy is key
to enable development
of future verticals and
ecosystems.
MNO dominated closed ecosystems Verticals driven open ecosystems

Ofcourse - 6G Super for Efficiency
• Tbps connectivity
• Absolute communication reliability
• 100% security
• Zero latency
• Cm-level positioning accuracy and 3D radio imaging
• Global coverage including remote areas
• Fully automated networks optimization and deployment
• Smart context dependent content delivery
• Uilization of all human senses for immersive user experience
Contradictory system requirements.
Deployment/vertical specific optimization needed.Summary: Critical Drivers Towards 6G
• Digital inclusion via global coverage
1. Society • Connectivity is key to satisfy UN SDGs and needs of digital societies; current terrestrial technologies with evolutionary features
need to be complemented by specific remote areas solutions including satellite.
2. Business • New ecosystems and disruptive business models
• Digital societies and emergence of new verticals create new ecosystems and disrupts current business models requiring field
specific regulation changes; ownership of customers and networks changes.
3.Standards • Global collaboration and standards
• 6G coalitions forming in a new geopolitical landscape; a new standard is introduced after every 10-years – business reshaped
in 20-year cycles; spectrum regulation principles changing ~25++ year cycles.
4.Technology • Data privacy and security
• Expansion of verticals with new stake holders and emergence of large number of new players providing different network
elements, critical applications and operating different parts of networks sets new privacy & security requirements.
• Super efficient connectivity at high spectrum bands
• Extreme speeds, reliability, low latency and localization/sensing accuracy can be achieved only locally in rather short-range
networks utilizing the higher frequency bands even above 100GHz.
• Smart AI enabled networks and applications
• Networks and applications become intelligent, self-learning and context dependent; edge intelligence is the key technical
enabler and challenges/complements centralized cloud solutions.Thank you!
