Intelligence in the Network: A Foundation for 6G

At MWC Barcelona 2026, the 5G Future Summit – Intelligence in the Network: A Foundation for 6G will explore how 5G Standalone, 5G-Advanced and intelligent network capabilities are setting the architectural groundwork for future connectivity. The summit highlights cloud-native design, open interfaces, programmability and AI as key enablers for monetisation today and readiness for 6G tomorrow.

In this session’s segment, “Intelligence in the Network: A Foundation for 6G,” Anita Döhler, CEO of the NGMN Alliance, will present NGMN’s latest 6G guidance, emphasising how current network evolution — especially embedding intelligence, openness and programmability — lays a robust architectural foundation for 6G as the industry reaches major standardisation milestones.
