DESCRIPTION:The transformative influence of Internet and Communication Tech
 nology (ICT) has reshaped society\, touching every aspect from the economy
  to healthcare. As the widespread deployment of 5G continues\, there is an
  on-going focus on the inception of the sixth generation (6G) of wireless 
 communication systems (WCSs). Anticipated to shape the future of connectiv
 ity in the 2030s\, 6G aims to deliver unparalleled communication services 
 to meet the demands of hyper-connectivity. While densely populated urban a
 reas have traditionally been the primary beneficiaries of WCS advancements
 \, the vision for 6G transcends city limits. Aligned with the United Natio
 ns&#39; sustainability goals for 2030\, an important aspect of 6G endeavors to
  democratize the benefits of ICT\, fostering global connectivity sustainab
 ly. This talk delves into this particular envisioned landscape of 6G\, pro
 viding insights into the future of wireless communication and guiding rese
 arch efforts towards sustainable\, inclusive\, and high-speed connectivity
  solutions for the future.\n\nCentral to this discussion are two emerging 
 technologies: Free Space Optics (FSO) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). 
 These innovative solutions hold the promise of extending high-speed connec
 tivity beyond urban hubs to underserved regions\, fostering digital inclus
 ivity and contributing to the development of remote areas. Through this ex
 ploration\, we aim to convey the potential of 6G and its role in shaping a
  connected\, sustainable future for all.\n\nRoom: 3A.012 M&amp;T \, Bldg: Engi
