The Task Force deliberated extensively on the current global thinking regarding evolution of telecom network in the year 2030 and beyond. The strands were evaluated in the context of India's own future needs and growth trajectory over the next decade. Depending on the degree of relevance of each of these strands in our context, the Task Force has emphasized some of the possible evolutionary paths. While evaluating the strands, it emphasized on those that appeared more realistic and promising in a ten-year timeframe.

6G is expected to push the boundaries of communication technology by ushering in bandwidths of 1Tbps which will be 100x that of 5G. With latencies of less than a millisecond, it can potentially revolutionise the way people interact with other humans, machines, and data. In addition, 6G will also incorporate sensing as an inherent service - which will also have a profound impact on the design and delivery of new technologies and services in diverse areas

Society’s increasing use of radio‐based technologies, and the tremendous opportunities for social development that these technologies provide, highlight the importance of radio‐frequency spectrum and national spectrum management processes. Technological progress has continually opened doors to a variety of new pectrum applications that have spurred greater interest in, and demand for, the limited spectrum resource. Increased demand requires that spectrum be used efficiently and that effective spectrum management processes be implemented.1 (ITU Spectrum Management Handbook).

6G technology will have significant advancements in communication, sensing, imaging, presence technologies and location awareness. The computational infrastructure of 6G will automatically select the ideal place for computing, including artificial intelligence (AI) driven decisions regarding datastorage, processing, and sharing. Future networks will be pervasive component of life, society, and industries, fulfilling the communication needs of humans as well as intelligent machines. 6G should contribute to an efficient, human-friendly, sustainable society through ever-present intelligent communication.

Telecommunication technology products require significantly large funding and long gestation periods for R&D and commercialization. The stages move from ideation, research, incubation, prototyping, lab testing, miniaturization, field testing, hardening, securitization, outdoor readiness, licenses for background IPs, Standardization etc. In the cases of deep tech SoCs (System on Chips) funding needs would go further higher due to multi-layers of prototyping. These are some of the factors which enabled only a few global companies to sustain in the market while continuously investing in R&D withstanding aggressive global competition. In this scenario, standardized open interfaces have enabled emergence of small niche companies to develop products to meet various requirements in both public and private networks.
