The central objective is to create both scientific and technological advances to evolve in 5G — and this is where research on 6G technology comes in, already expected to enter the commercial phase in 2030. 

According to Ericsson, the only company that for now finances part of the project, initial research should focus on the capabilities of sensors and applications that bring advantages in sending and receiving data.

The industries that should benefit from the research will be automotive, agribusiness, health and everything related to the internet of things.
