The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN) endorses Multi-RAT Spectrum Sharing (MRSS) as the baseline approach for 5G-to-6G migration, emphasising cost, operational disruption, and hardware reuse as key criteria. The alliance cautions against too many migration paths to avoid fragmentation and calls for industry focus on practical deployment feasibility and economic viability of 6G.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a narrowed standard path for 6G based on MRSS that favours upgrades without costly hardware replacements. This pushes you to align development and deployment plans now around MRSS to avoid costly fragmentation and ensure a smoother 6G rollout.
