Samsung, Verizon complete key technology trial for 6G networks

Samsung Electronics and Verizon Communications Inc. have successfully completed a key technology trial for commercializing sixth-generation (6G) networks. The trial, conducted at a major international soccer fan event in Texas, involved an AI-powered Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) application. This trial demonstrated real-time sensing-driven intelligence across a virtualized network, marking one of the industry's first practical implementations of a key 6G technology.

The ISAC trial utilized commercial AI-powered virtualized radio access network (vRAN) and virtualized core network (vCore) technologies, which enabled the ISAC trial to leverage connectivity from a 5G network without requiring additional equipment. This milestone underscores how Verizon's decision to partner with Samsung can accelerate the development and deployment of 6G technology.
