New Delhi, March 18 The era of 6G will mark the next leap in human civilization, Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Wednesday, emphasizing that global interoperability across networks, devices, and services, a common technical framework, accelerated innovation, and a strong commitment to inclusivity would be key to unlocking the full potential of technology.
Speaking at an international workshop on 6G standardization, the minister noted that the world is at the threshold of a new technological epoch.
The era of 6G will not only represent an exponential jump in speeds and latency but also the next leap for human civilization from both digital and technological perspectives, he said.
The minister emphasized the need for a multi-pronged approach, highlighting four key elements.
"Our decisive role has to be based on these four key pillars. First, to ensure global interoperability between devices, networks, and services. And this has to be the case worldwide, so that the world can communicate seamlessly within a global unified communication ecosystem," he said.
Other aspects include the creation of a common technical framework, accelerating innovation and research to transform lab breakthroughs into real-world solutions.
"The fourth and most important aspect is to ensure inclusive growth and indigenous innovation, and to adopt open standards to create a level playing field," Scindia added.
