ATIS’ Next G Alliance on Thursday announced the launch of its technical work program and the formation of the key working groups that will fulfill its mission to drive North American leadership for 6G and beyond.
Leadership is being announced for the National 6G Roadmap, Green G, Technology and Spectrum working groups, with additional working groups to be launched in the coming weeks. The National 6G Roadmap Working Group acts as a coordination point across all other working groups. It is chaired by Fellow and Head of Radio Interface Group with Nokia Amitava Ghosh.
Taking a holistic view of the 6G marketplace and the broader environment, the National 6G Roadmap will establish the North American vision for 6G and beyond. Geared toward the eventual commercialization of 6G, it will address the full lifecycle of research, standardization, development, manufacturing and market readiness with a built-in focus on the sustainability and the societal drivers that will shape future wireless technologies. Vice chairs are Lead Solution Architect at AT&T Marc Grant and Senior Director of Research and Innovation for 6G Projects at InterDigital Doug Castor.
Recognizing that reducing energy consumption and fostering sustainability is ever growing in importance, the Green G Working Group is identifying how to minimize the environmental impact of future generations of wireless technology. The group is chaired by Distinguished Technologist with HPE Marie-Paule Odini. Vice chairs are Director of 5G Policy and External Engagements at Microsoft Micaela Giuhat and Cognitive Edge Research Scientist, Advanced Technologies Team, Service Provider & Cloud at VMware Colleen Josephson.
