By building on open and trustworthy AI native platforms, we can simplify future technologies like 6G, ensuring they build upon the strengths of today\u2019s 5G networks while still unlocking powerful new capabilities at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n Tim H\u00f6ttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG, said: \u201cBest network, best customer experience \u2014 that remains our promise. With an open, intelligent and trusted 6G infrastructure, we are laying the foundation for the era of physical AI and unlocking new value for our customers, for industry and for society.\u201d<\/p>\n Arielle Roth, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information, and Administrator at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said: \u201cAmerica\u2019s 6G leadership will be critical to our nation\u2019s economic prosperity, national security and global competitiveness. Today\u2019s announcement demonstrates that the United States and our allies and partners around the world are leading in this next-generation technology. We look forward to the next steps from this international industry coalition as they advance and implement their shared 6G vision.\u201d<\/p>\n Jung Jai-hun, president and CEO of SK Telecom, said: \u201cSKT is evolving telco infrastructure to serve as the foundation for the AI era, where connectivity serves as a platform for intelligence and innovation. Together, we can build open, trusted infrastructure that drives a global ecosystem of AI innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n Hideyuki Tsukuda, executive vice president and chief technology officer of SoftBank Corp., said: \u201cAl-native 6G will transform wireless networks into secure, software-defined infrastructure that supports the next wave of global innovation. SoftBank Corp.\u00a0is driving this innovation with NVIDIA by advancing open and trusted platforms that enable interoperability, resilience and continuous evolution at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n Srini Gopalan, CEO of T-Mobile, said: \u201cWe\u2019re at a pivotal moment. In the U.S., we\u2019ve laid the foundation with 5G Advanced and AI-native networks where intelligence lives inside the network. As 6G becomes the backbone of the AI era, telecom will serve as the nervous system of the digital economy, enabling autonomous systems and intelligent industries at scale and unlocking new value for customers and businesses alike. T-Mobile is proud to help define what\u2019s next through deep ecosystem collaboration and sustained innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n A Shared Vision for 6G: Open, Software-Defined, AI-Native
Together, these collaborations represent a unified commitment \u2014 supported by like\u2011minded governments, operators and technology partners \u2014 to shape secure, intelligent and trusted global connectivity for the next generation of wireless technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News Summary:
