The NGA was launched by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) as an initiative to advance North American wireless technology leadership over the next decade. ATIS’ Next G Alliance (NGA) has published a new white paper that looks at the transformative role that future 6G technology is expected to play in enhancing integrated sensing and communication systems. NGA said that next-generation systems will enable distributed sensors and communication networks to implement an integrated exchange of data, allowing systems of sensors to work together. These will provide the network with critical analytics to upgrade configurations and improve performance, NGA said, adding that these systems will enable new user capabilities. “Nearly all markets with use cases in this application class will experience the impact of 6G distributed sensing innovation,” said Next G Alliance Managing Director David Young.
