3GPP Release 19: The Final 5G-Advanced Milestone and the Dawn of 6G
3GPP Version 19
We have successfully concluded 3GPP Release 19, delivering fully implementable specifications by the end of 2025. This milestone marks the completion of the second 5G-Advanced release, balancing continuity with innovation to meet immediate commercial needs. As we move forward, Release 20 will maintain the focus on 5G-Advanced while initiating the first critical studies on 6G requirements, system architecture, and security to prepare for future use cases.
Release-19 represents a balance of continuity and innovation, consolidating previous releases while setting the stage for future work.

Their portal gave me a warm feeling of internet nostalgia
Also the file claiming to be PDF while actually being DOCX is pretty amusing
I really like the improvements to satelite connectivity, brings us one step closer to a future where LEO broadband like Starlink/OneWeb is a commodity

Hi Telco nerds!
It's looking like 3GPP is shifting away from faster networks and into networks that are programmable, energy-budgeted platforms.
Anybody doing experiments with components where power is transmitted by a transport provider? Ambient IoT sounds like a classic 3GPP proposal that utterly fails because every time they publish, nobody follows on with legitimate investment. Am I too cynical?

I suddenly remember transferring 3GPP videos off of my Nokia back in the day.
