5G-Advanced Brings Fundamental Changes to Wireless: 5G Americas
5G Americas described the benefits of 5G-advanced, as a transition to 6G, in a paper published Tuesday. “Network technology is entering a new era of intelligence, efficiency, and reach,” the paper said. “At the heart is AI-native optimization, infusing artificial intelligence into the [radio access network] and core infrastructure to enable zero-touch automation. Networks can now self-manage through predictive maintenance and dynamic slicing, fundamentally transforming how they adapt to demand.” 5G-advanced builds on “foundational” 5G stand-alone architecture, integrating AI, machine learning, extended reality applications, improved energy efficiency and ultra-reliable low-latency communications, the paper said.

Rather than expanding the communications highway, 5G-advanced “transforms the network into a smart transit system -- one that uses real-time data, AI-assisted control and modular services to move information with precision,” said 5G Americas President Viet Nguyen. “It is not just about faster speeds or more spectrum. It is about networks that can perceive, decide, and adapt, all while optimizing energy use and extending coverage.”
