i2CAT Foundation was honoured by the presence of the Vice Director of Research of iTEAM Research Institute, David Gómez-Barquero, to talk about the deployment of 5G technology and the race for 6G.

“As of today, although 5G technology is partially deployed at a commercial level, there is still a lot of work to be done in the field of research, since it is evolving and every year and a half there is a new update with advanced functionalities. The main problem are the mobile devices that do not support these functionalities (indoor positioning, synchronization…)”, explains Professor Gómez-Barquero.

In addition, it also highlights that it is essential to identify this challenge in order to be clear about the limitations and needs for the future 6G technology race.
