India is preparing for 6G technology, moving beyond 5G, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial role. The 6G network will be ready for testing in 2028 and will provide internet speeds 50 to 100 times faster than 5G. AI-based security measures will secure digital transactions and make the network smarter.
6G Technology: India has now started preparing for the 6G network after 5G, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) playing a central role. At the India Mobile Congress 2025, Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal stated that 6G testing would begin in 2028. This network will provide internet speeds 50 to 100 times faster than 5G, improve call quality, and secure digital transactions with AI security tools. The objective of this initiative is to position India as a global leader in both AI and 6G.
6G Testing to Begin in 2028
India is now preparing for 6G technology, moving beyond 5G, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a central role. At the India Mobile Congress 2025, Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal stated that the 6G network would be capable of identifying and resolving its own technical issues. Testing is expected to begin in 2028, and this network will be 50 to 100 times faster than 5G, potentially reaching internet speeds of up to 1TBPS.
Smart Network and Security Through AI
The upcoming 6G network will utilize 'Agentic AI' technology, which will enable the network to understand and improve itself. Call quality and the internet experience will be significantly better. Furthermore, recognizing the threat of AI misuse, the government has developed AI-based security tools that have, to date, prevented online fraud worth 200 crore rupees and blocked over 48 lakh fraudulent transactions.
India AI Mission and Global Leadership
The Indian government is promoting AI research, startups, and secure AI systems under the 'India AI Mission'. This initiative has seen an investment of 1.25 billion dollars. Its objective is to establish India as a global leader in both AI and 6G. The arrival of 6G will not only bring faster internet but will also elevate the entire digital world to new heights as a smart, self-managed, and AI-driven network.
The combination of 6G technology and AI is set to completely transform India's digital landscape. With faster internet speeds and smart networking, user experience will be better than ever before. Simultaneously, AI-based security measures will secure digital transactions.
