	6G Drivers and Vision by NGMN Alliance In this paper, the NGMN MNOs, with input from NGMN Partners (vendors, research institutions), outline their vision for 6G representing a future evolution of networks enabling differentiated services with expanded market opportunities and novel experience. It first describes the drivers for 6G, and the key necessities to guide the future technologies to respond to the needs of the end users, societies, and MNOs. This is followed with NGMN’s vision of 6G, its novelty and capabilities to meet the drivers identified. Download ...here

	ATIS has published the 5G Vertical Platform Assessment Report, an analysis of vertical industries and application use cases for how a range of sectors can set 5G capabilities into action. Identifying common platform needs to enable verticals to fully exploit 5G innovation will also advance new opportunities for communications service providers. Get the report....here
	5G-ACIA - Exposure of 5G Capabilities for Connected Industries and Automation Applications (Version 2) March 24, 2021 This white paper describes the functional requirements for exposing the capabilities of non-public 5G systems to connected industries and automation applications. Via exposure interfaces, industrial applications can access 5G capabilities for factory and process automation, production IT, and logistics and warehousing. Industrial applications also have access to communication service monitoring and network management capabilities. Due to the generic nature of the exposed capabilities, it is also possible to support other use cases that share the requirements of factory applications. Examples include control applications for rail transportation, electrical power distribution, and central power generation. Get the white paper...here
	Industrial-strength 5G: Key issues and impacts seen by a 3GPP insider November 2020 This interview appeared in Venture Beat and is based on a conversation between VB's William Van Winkle and Richard Burbidge, a lead Intel delegate to RAN groups and our former WG RAN2 Chair. The article is a fine explanation of 'how 5G continues to evolve, the role standards play...public vs. private architectures, centralized vs. distributed approaches, the advances in Release 16, and how industrial adopters might best gain from the technology.' ...Read the article
