ACSIELWebinar | 6G : Technological, Industrial and Geopolitical Challenges
Review of the ACSIEL webinar “6G: Technological, industrial and geopolitical challenges“
🚀 Dive into the future of communications with our webinar on 6G! 🚀
6G, a technology in the making that promises to transform our uses, infrastructures and geopolitical balances. With native artificial intelligence, satellite networks and unexplored spectra, 6G will not only improve on 5G, it will redefine the rules of the game.
To explore these dynamics, ACSIEL‘s Innovation and Foresight Commission, in partnership with YOLE and Keysight, has proposed the webinar “6G: Technological, industrial and geopolitical challenges“.
Don’t miss this opportunity to (re)discover valuable information on the future of telecommunications and the strategic importance of 6G.
We’d like to thank you once again for taking part in this dense, forward-looking and exciting webinar!
We therefore propose :
- a reminder of the program

Question during Renaud Duverne’s presentation
Q : Wouldn’t there be a risk of radio interference with military applications (like 5G with radar altimeters)?
A : Yes, that’s why spectrums and civil uses have to respect what is allocated to them. This means testing for possible interference in advance. This is a real issue that can cause problems if these technologies are not deployed correctly. Some FR3 (or FR2) spectrums are not available in all regions for civilian use.
