Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has unveiled an extensive strategy to spearhead research and studies concerning the advancement of ‘International Mobile Telecommunications’ technology’ (IMT2030), also called the sixth generation of mobile networks (6G).
This initiative is a proactive response to the dynamic landscape of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), focusing on detailed technical specifications for the functionality and performance of mobile systems.
Furthermore, it aims to address the evolving needs of society and the economic sector, bridging the gap between current communication services and future requirements.
The ultimate goal is to foster a comprehensive, digitally integrated, and interconnected way of life in the years ahead.
The release of this roadmap aligns with the decisions made during the Radiocommunication Assembly 2023 (RA-23), hosted by the UAE from 13 to17 November 2023.
During the Assembly, a resolution was passed, urging stakeholders in the communications sector to focus on developing radio technical standards and specifications for the sixth generation of the International Mobile Service (IMT).
It is worth noting that the RA-23 endorsed Recommendation (ITU-R M. 2160) pertaining to 6G framework, referred to as (IMT-2030), laying the foundation for the forthcoming development of network standards.
