ISAC moves from labs to live trials with Ericsson, AT&T and Verizon

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is shifting from lab tests to field trials: AT&T and Ericsson demonstrated drone detection near AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Verizon and Samsung built a crowd-density heatmap at the World Cup FanFest, and the US Department of War funded a $28 million Cohere Technologies prototype. Ericsson calls sensing a potential killer app for 6G, while Huawei is said to have over 300 ISAC-capable systems deployed.

• AT&T and Ericsson ran drone detection near AT&T Stadium in Arlington
• Verizon and Samsung tested a crowd-density heatmap at the World Cup FanFest
• Cohere Technologies won a $28 million FutureG contract for a RAN prototype
• Verizon tested 100–400 MHz mmWave across four synchronized points
