The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority said the UAE intends to contribute to 6G development and global standards, not only adopt technology developed elsewhere. TDRA director Khalid Al Awadhi made the remarks during the 19 October regional summit in Abu Dhabi.

The source says 6G remains in research and development and standards are still being formulated; commercial deployment is expected to begin in 2030. Al Awadhi also described AI integration and built-in sensing as anticipated capabilities, not services already operating.
