How 40 Years of Wireless Turned Networks Into Sensing Platforms
Key Takeaways
- Four decades of wireless standards evolution has transformed networks from voice channels into pervasive sensing platforms using ISAC technology
- 5G's wide bandwidth and dense antenna arrays enable passive sensing of people, vehicles, and environments from existing cellular signals
- 6G specifications being developed globally include ISAC as a first-class capability, raising governance questions about network-generated surveillance data
