As the wi despread deployment of 5G continues\, there is an on-going focus on the in ception of the sixth generation (6G) of wireless communication systems (WC Ss). Anticipated to shape the future of connectivity in the 2030s\, 6G aim s to deliver unparalleled communication services to meet the demands of hy per-connectivity.\n\nWhile densely populated urban areas have traditionall y been the primary beneficiaries of WCS advancements\, the vision for 6G t ranscends city limits. Aligned with the United Nations’ sustainability g oals for 2030\, an important aspect of 6G endeavors to democratize the ben efits of ICT\, fostering global connectivity sustainably. This talk delves into this particular envisioned landscape of 6G\, providing insights into the future of wireless communication and guiding research efforts towards sustainable\, inclusive\, and high-speed connectivity solutions for the f uture. Central to this discussion are two emerging technologies: Free Spac e Optics (FSO) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). These innovative soluti ons hold the promise of extending high-speed connectivity beyond urban hub s to underserved regions\, fostering digital inclusivity and contributing to the development of remote areas. Through this exploration\, we aim to c onvey the potential of 6G and its role in shaping a connected\, sustainabl e future for all.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Pittsburgh Section SSIT Chapter \n\nSpeaker(s): Mohamed\, \n\nAgenda: \nPresentation: 10 am (eastern time zone).\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497773 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497773 ORGANIZER:senkk@ieee.org SEQUENCE:31 SUMMARY:Towards connecting the Remaining Unconnected URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497773 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justi fy\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\;">The Internet and Communication Tec hnologies (ICT) have reshaped society\, touching every aspect from the eco nomy to healthcare.
