MWC 2025 offered another glimpse into the future, and while many showcased conceptual roadmaps, VIAVI was already driving real-world 6G breakthroughs. We didn't just highlight key insights and ideas; we brought the 6G vision to life.

The State of 6G

AI-driven networks, digital twins, and ultra-efficient processing have moved beyond theoretical discussions into practical implementation. Governments, telecom leaders, and research alliances are tackling infrastructure and spectrum challenges, with the first standards expected by 2029.

At MWC, we showed breakthrough demonstrations:

• AI/ML-Optimized Higher-Order Modulations – Our exclusive demo with Samsung and NVIDIA through the AI-RAN Alliance showcased unique performance gains that set a new benchmark in the industry.

• Goal-Oriented Semantic Communications for XR – VIAVI, King's College London, and Nokia Bell Labs delivered the first-ever practical application of semantic communications for extended reality.

• AI/ML-Based Beam Management for FR3 cmWave – Our joint development with A*STAR I2R demonstrated unprecedented efficiency in spectrum utilization.

• Network Digital Twin Testing – Our breakthrough work with Qualcomm showing how real-time digital twin can provide accurate measurements to enhance perception performance for beam selection.

• Real-Time Raytracing for ISAC Testing – Testing Integrated Sensing and Communication Algorithms at the Base Station, using VIAVI's ray tracing technology..
