What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Impressive multi-site field validation with real numbers, but it is pre-standard research with author-acknowledged synchronization/NLoS gaps and an unresolved security model — and 3GPP 6G ISAC normative specs are not due until ~2027, with commercialization ~2030. No productizable artifact for years.
Next
Track 3GPP Rel-20 ISAC study items (gNB monostatic UAV sensing + broader 6G architectures) and Rel-21 normative work (~2027), plus follow-on China Mobile / cell-free MIMO ISAC trials; reassess once synchronization, NLoS, and security gaps have published solutions.
