MWC 2026 Ignites AI-Native 6G Race
At MWC 2026, Qualcomm launched the X105, world's first 3GPP R19-ready 6G modem, and formed a 6G alliance with 60 partners targeting 2029 deployment. Huawei and ZTE emphasize 5G-A enhancements with U6GHz mmWave for smooth 6G transition, while Ericsson and Nokia push 6G prototypes. Diverging 'thin 5G' vs 'thick 5G' paths converge on mmWave for AI-driven sensing-comms-compute integration.
