Samsung, Verizon complete key technology trial for 6G networks

Samsung Electronics and Verizon Communications Inc. have successfully completed a key technology trial for the development of sixth-generation (6G) networks, according to The Korea Times. The AI-powered Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) trial was conducted at a major international soccer fan event in Texas, demonstrating real-time sensing-driven intelligence across a virtualized network.

This marks one of the industry's first practical implementations of a crucial 6G technology, highlighting how operators can leverage software-driven network architectures to create infrastructure that actively perceives, understands, and responds to its surroundings. The trial utilized commercial AI-powered virtualized radio access network (vRAN) and virtualized core network (vCore) technologies, enabling the ISAC application to leverage connectivity from a 5G network without requiring additional equipment.
