In this thought-provoking episode of DEEP, host Ben Kaplan of DEEP Venture Partners speaks with Professor Christos Masouros, one of the world's leading experts on 6G communications. They explore how 6G will fundamentally shift wireless technology from pure communication to a powerful hybrid of communication and sensing, transforming every cell tower and base station into a mini radar system.

Christos breaks down how 6G’s ultra-fast speeds and near-zero latency could unlock revolutionary applications—from remote robotic surgeries across continents, to holographic communications, smart cities, autonomous vehicle coordination, and even digital twins for real-time activity monitoring. The conversation dives into how AI, sustainability, non-terrestrial networks, and reconfigurable surfaces are all playing a role in the 6G ecosystem—and what it means for privacy, security, and global deployment.

They also explore the business and geopolitical implications of 6G, including how this technological leap could open doors for new players from adjacent industries, and the need for regulatory safeguards in a world where every antenna can track movement and behavior.

Key Topics:

• 6G vs 5G: latency, speed, and energy efficiency

• Integrated sensing and communication

• Remote surgery and real-time holography

• Smart cities and urban security

• AI’s role in network optimization and prediction

• Sustainability in infrastructure and signal design

• Privacy, sensing security, and geopolitical impact

• The business potential of radar/communications convergence
