QuickFire | What should 6G do for us? With Preston Marshall, Google

We still do not know what 6G is going to be, but it is the right time to decide what we want it to do. I talked to Preston Marshall, Director of Wireless Standards and Policy at Google Internet Evangelism, CoChair of Spectrum Sharing Committee at WInnForum, and Chairman, OnGo (CBRS) Alliance, about what users, the operators and the rest of the wireless ecosystem need 6G to do differently, and not just better, than 5G.

Pres and I talked about how to think about monetization in 5G and 6G, the crucial role of the core in the evolution of wireless connectivity, the roles of Wi-Fi and cellular in providing connectivity for different use cases, private networks run by the enterprise, and Wi-Fi and cellular coexistence.

Throughout the discussion, we refer to Pres’ new book, Evolving to 6G: The Case for a New Approach to 6G and Beyond, which I highly recommend not only for its vision for 6G, but also for the insightful and frank assessment of past and present of cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity.

A second episode with Pres covering other topics from his book will be soon available.
