Discussions highlight key insights from the ATIS Next G Alliance report, “Integrated Sensing and Communications Readiness Report, Phase I”. Featuring:
- Expert perspective on the first dedicated study of ISAC requirements, use cases, and feasibility in both simulated and real-world contexts.
- Proof-of-concept demos from Nokia and Keysight and a look at sensing architectures, hardware for monostatic sensing, network topologies, and waveform options shaping the technology’s future..
- An overview of industry applications showing how ISAC will transform smart homes, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and public safety.
BACKGROUND: ISAC introduces sensing as a native function of the communication network. By merging radar-like sensing and wireless communication into a single system, it enables capabilities that extend far beyond today’s networks. This integration empowers applications ranging from detecting the presence, movement, and characteristics of objects within network coverage to enhancing network performance through improved channel awareness. A transformative capability expected to define the 6G era, ISAC positions 6G as a driver of innovation across industries such as smart homes, transportation, environmental monitoring, healthcare, manufacturing, and public safety. |
