The Research Council brings together leading industry and academic experts from the NGA to collaborate on the development of a comprehensive North American 6G research strategy. It will leverage key NGA findings and lay the groundwork for cooperative efforts that may be undertaken by government, industry, and academia in North America. Research Council members will also advance research goals established by the NGA, working with the U.S. and Canadian governments as well as private-sector 6G research communities.
