6G standardisation has begun. The decisions made today will shape the networks of tomorrow.

As AI transforms the telecommunications landscape, operators are looking beyond connectivity towards AI-native networks that can intelligently adapt, automate and support entirely new classes of services. With 6G studies now underway in 3GPP, the opportunity to influence the future architecture is happening now.

The industry must think about AI for networks and networks for AI. This means designing flexible, software-driven and cloud-native architectures that can support evolving AI workloads while accelerating network automation, operational efficiency and sustainable network evolution.

As an operator-driven alliance, NGMN continues to provide requirements and guidance to align the ecosystem and support global 6G standardisation efforts—bringing together operators, vendors, academia and industry partners to avoid fragmentation and enable scalable innovation.
