​Ever more connected​

The race for speed is on

Welcome to the age of immediacy. As 5G continues to be rolled out around the world, Thales is already preparing for the challenges of 6G

Expected by 2030, this revolution, which will offer ever-faster speeds and ultra-low latency, promises to accelerate industrial development and revolutionise robotics, cyber security, e-health and transport. With its expertise in sensors, artificial intelligence and the cloud, Thales is already imagining the applications made possible by future network performance.
