Dr. Peter Vetter
President of Bell Labs Core Research, Nokia

Abstract:

Our new norm of working from home expediated not only the need for high-quality video conferencing, but also for increased levels of digital automation in many parts of the industry and society. This will accelerate innovations in the 5G Era already in the second half of the decade. While we reflect about the vision and goals for 6G in research, it is important to take into account the transformation of our industry and emergence of new platform technologies in 5G. They are guide posts and stepping stones for new 6G technologies that will enable existing and new applications at scale.
