Thinking Point: The Metaverse and the evolving connectivity requirements
summary
Overview of specific claims, products and gaps: Meta Reality Labs lists Portal, Ray‑Ban Stories and Oculus Quest 2 as current platforms and says metaverse UX needs single-digit and low double-digit millisecond latencies and much lower device complexity than phones. Key asks are 160/320 MHz Wi‑Fi channels, harmonized 6 GHz 1200 MHz allocation, and 5G enhancements in 3GPP Release 18 (RedCap evolution, lower jitter, better indoor continuity and 5G–Wi‑Fi coexistence). Useful if priority is standards, spectrum and concrete device constraints.
