R&S Mobile Test Summit 2026 topics
Get Ready for 6G
The Mobile Test Summit 2026 brought together industry experts and Rohde & Schwarz specialists to explore the technologies shaping the future of mobile communications and the preparations for 6G.
With the first commercial 6G products expected by 2030 and standardization already underway, the three-session online summit took an in-depth look at the three key technologies driving 6G:
- AI-native RAN – the heartbeat of 6G
- Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) – radar-powered 6G
- Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) – bridging space and earth on the 6G highway
Across three sessions, leading experts shared insights into emerging 6G use cases and technology challenges, as well as the latest implications for design, validation and testing.

AI-native RAN
AI-RAN represents the convergence of cellular network infrastructure and AI computing, enabling a single platform to run wireless networks, optimize network performance with AI and host AI applications at the network edge. As AI moves from research and trials into live networks, new questions arise around deployment, interoperability, performance and trust.
In this session, industry experts explored the opportunities and challenges of AI-driven RAN, including the implications for network performance, validation and testing. Watch the session on-demand to discover the latest insights into AI-native RAN and the testing considerations shaping the evolution of 6G networks.
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) combines communication and sensing capabilities within a single wireless network, using the same radio signals and infrastructure to transmit data while also detecting and interpreting the surrounding environment. This technology can enable more efficient use of the radio spectrum, support autonomous systems and unlock new opportunities for network optimization and beyond.
In this session, industry experts explored the market outlook, emerging use cases, ecosystem momentum and testing implications of ISAC as a key technology for 6G. Watch the session on-demand to discover the latest developments in ISAC and the opportunities it brings for future wireless networks.
Non-terrestrial networks (NTN)
Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) extend mobile communication beyond traditional terrestrial network boundaries, connecting people, devices and industries from dense urban areas to the most remote locations on Earth. By integrating NTN into the 6G standard, the technology is paving the way for global coverage and new services, enabling seamless connectivity across space and terrestrial networks.
In this session, industry experts explored market trends, deployment opportunities, key challenges and the future of seamless space-to-earth connectivity. Watch the session on-demand to discover the latest developments in NTN and the role of non-terrestrial networks in the evolution toward 6G.
