🔮 6G Research Directions

ITU-R has defined 6G use cases for 2030:

  • Immersive communication: Holographic presence at events
  • Digital twin communication: Real-time venue twin synchronized with physical world
  • Global coverage: NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) for remote events
Reality check: 6G is 2028-2030. Your marketplace must work with 5G today, but architect for 6G evolution.
💡 Key Insight
Your marketplace architecture must be technology-agnostic. Today it orchestrates 5G slices. Tomorrow it orchestrates 6G holographic links. The marketplace mechanism stays the same. Only the domain agents change.
