    It will take a few more years before 5G is fully deployed, both at network and service levels. On the one hand, the traditional mobile operators (Proximus, Orange, Telenet) are still in the process of further developing 5G and the transition towards 5G SA, while the fourth operator DIGI is setting up its own radio access network.

    6G is the logical successor to 5G, but is not expected before 2030. In general, 6G will be even more performant in terms of speeds, latency, terminal densities and security. In terms of available frequency, frequencies in the 470-692 MHz band, the upper part of the 6 GHz band, and frequencies above 40 GHz are considered at international level.

    The measures needed to enable direct 5G communication between ordinary terminal devices and/or smartphones and satellite networks are currently being explored.  This will be interesting in areas where there is no terrestrial 5G coverage.
