Actionable Benefits
- Understand why converged Wi-Fi/5G private network solutions underperformed, and learn how the same mistakes can be avoided with a Wi-Fi/6G convergence.
- Gain insight into the roles that the International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R), The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) are playing in defining 6G performance requirements and its convergence with Wi-Fi.
- Identify the most promising applications for convergence Wi-Fi/6G networks.
- Prepare infrastructure and integration roadmaps for end-to-end Wi-Fi/6G convergence.
Research Highlights
- Analysis of 6G’s emerging role as a complementary technology to Wi-Fi, rather than as a direct competitor.
- Overview of the role that the ITU-R, 3GPP, and WBA are playing in guiding the convergence between Wi-Fi and 6G.
- Evaluation of historical Wi-Fi/4G LTE and Wi-Fi/5G convergence initiatives, including 3GPP Releases 12, 14, 15, and 16, and the role of Access Traffic Steering-Switching-Splitting (ATSSS).
- Exploration of the commercial and operational barriers that limited Wi-Fi/5G private network uptake.
- Recommendations for the ecosystem on how to develop converged infrastructure and standardize unified networks.
Critical Questions Answered
- In what ways will the convergence between Wi-Fi and 6G reshape enterprise wireless architectures?
- Which ITU-R and 3GPP milestones will define the technical reference points for Wi-Fi/6G interoperability and standardization?
- Can lessons be drawn from the experiences of converged Wi-Fi/5G solutions?
- Which verticals and application environments are most likely to benefit from converged Wi-Fi/6G capabilities, and why?
Who Should Read This?
