6G何時、如何從5G中脫穎而出？裡程碑和後續步驟

概述

與數字經濟的其他領域不同，歐洲是電信設備市場的世界領先者。歐洲擁有世界一流的公司、創新的研究項目平台和多元化的行業生態系統，在塑造移動通信的未來方面具有決定性的影響力。

隨著5G成為主流，6G（第六代移動通信）已經呼之欲出。世界各國紛紛啟動研發計劃，6G標準化正在國際論壇上討論。

歐洲必須致力於保持其在移動通信領域的領導地位。在地緣政治緊張局勢阻礙經濟決策的世界中，歐洲大陸採取使其保持領先地位的戰略至關重要。為了實現這一目標，歐洲必須繼續關注創新動力。

本報告分析了從5G到6G過渡過程的各個方面，並考慮了歐洲國家如何獲得和維護6G的技術主權。

Summary

Unlike other sectors of the digital economy, Europe is one of the world's market leaders in telecommunications equipment. Thanks to world-class companies, innovative research project platforms and diverse vertical industry ecosystems, Europe has a decisive influence on shaping the future of mobile communications.

As 5G becomes mainstream, the sixth generation of mobile communications (6G) is already on the horizon. Research and development programs are being launched worldwide, and the standardization of 6G is being debated in international forums.

Europe must aspire to maintain its leading position in mobile telecommunications. In a world where geopolitical tensions interfere with economic decisions, it is crucial for the continent to adopt a strategy that enables it to maintain a leading position. To achieve this, Europe must continue to focus on the dynamics of innovation.
