Verizon 6G Forum Expands with Major Tech Giants on Board
Verizon's 6G Innovation Forum (6GIF) has welcomed nine new members, expanding its roster to drive innovation around 6G technologies. The new additions include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Nvidia, Intel, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Keysight Technologies, MediaTek, Rohde & Schwarz, and Viavi Solutions.
The forum's expansion comes as Verizon's CTO, Yago Tenorio, emphasized the importance of collaboration in developing 6G technologies. 'By expanding our Innovation Forum and refining live edge-AI trials today, we are ensuring the AI-native 6G network is built from day one to scale 5G-Advanced capabilities,' Tenorio said.
The forum's new members join founding members Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Meta, and Qualcomm Technologies, who set up the forum with Verizon in late 2025. The expansion of the forum is seen as a major boost for the development of 6G technologies, which are expected to revolutionize the way people communicate.
