India is setting its sights on launching 6G by 2030, according to Airtel founder Sunil Bharti Mittal.
He shared that the next-generation network will tap into new radio frequencies and use AI to deliver even faster speeds and lower lag than today's 5G.
But before that happens, telecom companies need to make the most of their current 5G investments.
Mittal calls 6G a sensing network
Mittal called 6G a "sensing network," hinting at cool future tech like smart glasses or rings that could translate languages live or sense your interactions.
He also pointed out how India leads with affordable data and wide coverage.
Still, he stressed that strong financial planning is key if India wants to stay ahead in the global telecom race.
