Telia and Ericsson kick off Sweden's journey towards 6G
Published
Telia and Ericsson have now started work on 6G, the next generation of mobile technology. It marks a new phase in the development of mobile networks in Sweden. The technology is expected to be used in Sweden roughly between 2030 and 2032.
What is 6G? It is a successor to 5G, which many Swedes use today in their phones. New networks are meant to provide faster connections and handle more devices at the same time. This could be important for smart cities, industry and connected vehicles, for example. Since the technology is still under development, it is still unclear exactly how it will work in everyday life.
The collaboration between one of Sweden's largest telecom operators and the Swedish technology company Ericsson shows that Sweden wants to take part in the development of future networks. Both companies are well known in Sweden and have previously worked together on the 5G network.
Preparations for 6G are expected to continue over the coming years. In the meantime, testing and development work will continue. Consumers will have to wait a few years before they can use the technology in their phones.
