ATIS’ Next G Alliance Presents the Future of Next Generation Distributed Sensing and Communications

ATIS’ Next G Alliance today announced publication of the white paper Distributed Sensing and Communications, which highlights the transformative role of 6G technology in enhancing integrated sensing and communication systems. The innovations covered are poised to establish ubiquitous connectivity facilitated by emerging network services. The goal is to enable massive, creative and value-driven sensor and data collection opportunities for the industry.

Next-generation systems will enable distributed sensors and communication networks to implement a tightly integrated exchange of data allowing systems of sensors to work together. These will provide the network with critical analytics to upgrade configurations and improve performance. Working independently and in tandem, these systems will enable new user capabilities. In this “self-optimizing” environment, security, safety and autonomous applications can thrive. AI/ML models can be trained to support this evolution.

Nearly all markets with use cases in this application class will experience the impact of 6G distributed sensing innovation,” said Next G Alliance Managing Director David Young. “These include health care, public safety, agriculture and environmental monitoring, and the new NGA report focuses on the potential impact in the critical sectors of health care and public safety.”
