The blog discusses potential ways for enterprises to reduce VPN costs and improve connectivity in the upcoming 6G era. It highlights the importance of supporting VPN-over-FWA and standardizing SD-WAN interconnects to save costs. Additionally, it explores the idea of convergence between wireless, wireline, and satellite technologies in 6G for enhanced connectivity options.
One of the key points raised is the need for a universal model of VPN connectivity that covers all enterprise sites. The blog emphasizes the importance of having backup access technologies in place and the potential benefits of a convergence of wireless, wireline, and satellite technologies in 6G to address these challenges. However, the blog also mentions the uncertainty surrounding whether the 6G standard will effectively address these issues.
Another significant aspect discussed is the importance of security in the 6G era. While security is crucial for enterprises, the blog questions whether the proposed 6G security measures will actually reduce risks or security spending. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between enterprises and standards-writers to determine the best approach to network access security in the 6G era.
Lastly, the blog touches upon the concept of openness in 6G standards. It mentions the limitations of openness in 5G infrastructure and the emergence of the Open RAN movement to address these issues. The blog raises the question of whether 6G should provide an open model for edge hosting of applications, allowing enterprises to adopt edge computing services more effectively.
