"Communications in the 2030s - Objectives of Sustainability on the Path to 6G"

Sustainable development goals and objectives of societal, economic and environmental sustainability have become a priority worldwide. The ICT sector will need to contribute in a special way to help achieve objectives of sustainability because information and communication network technologies of the future will have positive enabling impact across industry sectors.

In this webinar the sustainability approach and focus of Nokia, the trusted partner for critical networks with a commitment to innovation and technology leadership will be presented including aspects of energy efficiency, circular economy and sustainable supply chains. 5G network build-out and 5G evolution are successfully under way and have shown positive impact on sustainability and energy efficiency performance; key factors of success to improve the energy efficiency of Radio Access Networks on the path to 6G are the optimization of HW and SW building blocks, technology innovation as well as the intelligent and automated system optimization.

The vision for communication in the 2030s and 6G has taken shape and 6G research is progressing at leading research institutes in academia as well as with operators and leading network vendors. Novel scenarios of 6G use case and value and the associated technical requirements will go beyond what can be achieved with 5G; sustainability and energy efficiency targets are key requirements.

Within the scope of this webinar key 6G technologies and architecture will be explored and the potential positive impact on energy efficiency will be discussed. Finally, the EU 6G flagship project Hexa-X and its objectives of sustainability will be briefly presented; communications for the 2030s and sustainable development need to move forward strongly intertwined and in a collaborative way
