The Race to 6G: How the Next-Gen Network Will Revolutionize Connectivity (and Leave 5G in the Dust)

The Race to 6G: How the Next-Gen Network Will Revolutionize Connectivity (and Leave 5G in the Dust)

6G will operate in sub-terahertz bands roughly 0.1–1 THz, enabling peak data rates up to 1 Tbps under ideal conditions, a goal highlighted by researchers like Mahyar Shirvanimoghaddam. Ultra-low latency targets microseconds, specifically about 1 µs one-way, enabling real-time holographic video, tactile Internet, and near-instantaneous AR/VR. AI-native architecture: 6G will embed AI/ML at its core, with industry players like Nokia Bell Labs aiming to validate an AI-native air interface. Integrated sensing and imaging: 6G will fuse wireless communication with sensing to enable millimeter-precision positioning and environmental monitoring. Ubiquitous connectivity across ground, air, and space: non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are designed in

Comprehensive Guide to Drone Laws in Portugal (2025 Update)

Since January 1, 2021, Portugal adopted EU drone regulations (EU 2019/947 and 2019/945) under EASA, introducing Open/Specific/Certified categories. The Open category applies to drones under 25 kg operated within visual line of sight up to 120 meters altitude, with subcategories A1, A2, and A3 defining proximity to people. Operations that exceed Open limits—such as heavier drones, BVLOS, or night flights—fall into the Specific or Certified categories and require ANAC authorization after a risk assessment. Drone operator registration is mandatory for drones 250 grams or more or with cameras; you receive an operator ID valid for five years via the online
