Programmable Networks for Future 6G Systems

Programmable networks are crucial for efficient deployment of future communication systems (e.g., 6G technology). They enable network operators to dynamically configure and optimize network functions and services via software, rather than relying on static hardware configurations. This flexibility is key to meeting the diverse and growing demands of future applications like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and immersive virtual reality, which require ultra-low latency, massive device connectivity, and enhanced security. By enabling real-time network customization and automation, programmable networks will significantly enhance the efficiency, scalability, and adaptability of 6G systems, driving innovation across industries and enabling more intelligent, resilient infrastructures.
