InterDigital and Turk Telekom test cellular/Wi-Fi sensing for 6G

InterDigital and Turk Telekom have run a joint trial of a system that uses both cellular and Wi-Fi signals for sensing, a capability they say will be important for future 6G networks.

According to their announcement, the setup combines mobile and Wi-Fi infrastructure to detect and interpret changes in the surrounding environment. The companies present this as a step toward 6G networks that do more than carry data, using existing radio signals to sense activity and conditions around them.
