6G Spectrum Sharing Shows Promise, But Faces Significant Technical and Economic ChallengesNEW YORK, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 6G standardization efforts are underway, with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) identifying candidate spectrum bands for IMT-2030, or 6G. According to new findings from ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm, the upper 6 GHz band and the 7–8 GHz range are expected to emerge as key areas of interest for early 6G development. Other frequencies, including low-band, high-band, and even terahertz (THz) spectrum, are also under evaluation but are expected to play a secondary role. At the same time, policymakers and industry stakeholders are examining whether the 6 GHz band can be shared with other systems using spectrum-sharing schemes.
Robust Growth Expected in Consumer AR Glasses as Shipments Near 30 Million by 2030, Driven by No-Display DesignsNEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The augmented reality (AR) smart glasses market is experiencing strong demand and rapid growth across both consumer and enterprise segments, as suppliers continue to introduce newer and more capable devices aimed at mass adoption. According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, the consumer segment will remain the largest vertical with consumer AR smart glasses shipments forecast to grow from roughly 850,000 units in 2024 to approximately 32 million units by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 82.9%. This acceleration is largely driven by the rising popularity of no-display smart glasses, which offer lighter, more portable designs suited for extended daily use.
