The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) has called for collaboration between Wi-Fi, cellular, and other wireless technologies in its newly released 6G vision statement, warning that industry fragmentation could threaten the goal of achieving truly ubiquitous connectivity.
In a newly released report, the industry body suggested that wireless networks should collaborate rather than compete to ensure uninterrupted connectivity across urban, rural, and indoor environments for next-generation standards.
WBA’s report suggests that converged solutions like Wi-Fi Calling and SIM-based seamless Wi-Fi authentication have lagged in deployments due to cost issues, complexity, and the need to harmonise fragmented user experiences.
