What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
M.2160 sets 6G's target capability envelope and usage scenarios but carries no deployable specification; real infrastructure implications wait on 3GPP Release 21 (2027-2028) and ITU-R radio interface technology submissions (2029), so no near-term platform action is warranted beyond monitoring.
Next
Re-check at ITU-R Study Group 5's formal Stage-2 requirements approval (Dec 2026) and again after WRC-27 (2027) resolves candidate 6G spectrum bands -- those are the next events that turn this framework into something concretely actionable.
