The 6G Roadmap: How Close Are We Really?

Beyond the Hype

Every few years, the telecom industry introduces a new buzzword. In 2025, that word is 6G. Promises of lightning-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and futuristic applications are everywhere. But how much of this is marketing and how much is reality?

Where We Are Now

  • Research Phase – Telecom giants like Nokia, Ericsson, and Samsung are leading global research into 6G.
  • Standardisation Work – International bodies are still drafting technical standards for 6G.
  • Trials in Progress – Early testbeds exist, but they’re far from commercial deployment.
  • Expected Timeline – Most experts predict real-world 6G services by 2030.

What 6G Promises

  • Speeds Up to 100x Faster Than 5G – Enabling near-instant downloads and real-time applications.
  • Ultra-Low Latency – Essential for autonomous vehicles, remote surgeries, and IoT expansion.
  • Massive Connectivity – Billions of devices connected seamlessly.
  • AI-Driven Networks – Smarter, self-optimising systems for greater efficiency.

Why Businesses Should Care Now

Even if 6G is still years away, UK businesses should start preparing:

  • Future-Proofing – Investing in scalable networks today ensures smoother adoption later.
  • IoT Readiness – The Internet of Things will expand rapidly under 6G.
  • Competitive Advantage – Early adopters often benefit from faster, more efficient communication.

6G may not be here yet, but resellers can use it to spark conversations today. Educating customers about the path from 5G to 6G builds credibility and opens doors for selling current upgrades like VoIPSD-WAN, or IoT solutions.

Final Thoughts

6G isn’t science fiction, but it’s not around the corner either. The roadmap shows promise, with real-world benefits expected by the end of the decade. Businesses that start modernising their telecom strategies now will be ready to take full advantage when 6G finally arrives.
