TL;DR

• The US government wants to showcase its 6G capabilities at the 2028 Olympics in LA.


• The Trump administration has asked Qualcomm to steer the development of three 6G-ready devices in this timeline.


• We’re skeptical of this development since the 6G standard is unlikely to be finalized by 2028.

Commercial 5G was first introduced for users in the US roughly seven years ago. The technology has since matured enough and is estimated to be available to 99% of Americans. Alongside this feat, carriers in the US are now starting to implement the next generation of wireless networks, 5G-Advanced or 5.5G, which is based on 3GPP’s Release 18 recommendations. While that is still in its early phase, the Trump administration reportedly wants 6G to be ready for deployment soon.

Nate Tibbit, Qualcomm’s senior VP of global government affairs and public affairs, was speaking at a 6G-centric industry event hosted by Politico (via Fierce Network) when they revealed the US government’s expectations for the rollout of the next generation network. Tibbit said the US government is “keeping its eye” on the timeline for 6G’s rollout and is “very interested in accelerating the timeline.”
